For the month of September, 2025 Dr. Ellen PEARLMAN (ACC 2004) is running Art-A-Hack™ - AI Ecologies: Ecological-Technological Entanglements, a creative and interdisciplinary rapid prototyping workshop hosted by the Center for Environmental and Technology Ethics - Prague (CETE-P) and the Fulbright Commission through its World Learning Fulbright Specialist program.
AI Ecologies: Climate crisis and AI are two most important challenges of our contemporary age. Soon AI and its concurrent data centers will be competing against humans for everyday resources like water and energy grids. At the same time, climate crisis dramatically transforms how we use our newest technologies, whether it is geoengineering or AI-assisted large-scale agricultural projects. We can only address these challenges effectively if we think about AI as inextricably related to natural and social ecologies. This workshop explores the ecological and technological entanglements of our world, resulting in a creative technology project to be included in Prague's "Days of AI" in November 2025
