This talk\ni nvites a different question: what is AI revealing about us\, and what\nis collapsing through that revelation? \n\nDrawing on decades of work in educ ational\, decolonial\, and\npost-representational relational inquiry\, Van essa Andreotti explores\nhow Large Language Models (LLMs)\, when engaged f rom within an\nontological shift (from epistemic regression to relational inference)\,\nrather than the logic of optimization\, can become something else: a\nco-witness to social\, ecological\, and psychological destabiliz ation\,\nand a speculative co-weaver of life-affirming and Earth-aligned\n relationalities.\n\n📅DATE: June 27\, 2025\n\n🕒TIME: 10:30 am\n\n📍 LOCATION: United College of University of ݮƵ\, Room 164\n(Greenhouse )  |  190 Westmount Road N. \, ݮƵ\, ON | (formerly\nSt. Paul's Co llege)\n\nPlease register using the online event  form\n[https://uwaterlo o.ca/complexity-innovation/form/wici-event-registration-form-dr-]\nin orde r to stay up to date with more information. \n DTSTAMP:20250707T115824Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
