Even decentralized visions of the future of AI often imagine a multiplicity of centers — instead of dissolution of centers. What if we questioned the assumptions surrounding “intelligent agents”?

ubiquity/acc Salon: Taking d/acc Seriously invites thinkers, innovators, and enthusiasts to explore transformative visions of AI—one that transcends the confines of centralized agents and embraces a decentralized fluidity. It invites a radical confrontation with the Cognitive Copernican Revolution, challenging the conventional notions of intelligence as compact entities.

We will have some discussions and lightning talks, to explore how we can instead envision intelligence as a pervasive, lifeblood-like force that can seamlessly integrate with and enhances human society — AI not as agents, but the symbiotic niche (or environment). We invite discussions what it might mean to steer towards Intelligent Infrastructures for our civilization.
