SUMMARY:Meta-Relational AI in a Time of Saturation\, Destabilization\, and\
 nReckoning 
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nProf.  Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti\, Dean of the
  Faculty of\nEducation at the University of Victoria\, is a distinguished 
 educator\,\nresearcher\, and author who recently has delved into the conce
 pt of\n\"Meta-Relational AI\,\" advocating for a perspective that views\na
 rtificial intelligence not merely as a tool but as a participant in\nthe w
 eb of life.\n\nAs we meet this moment of social and ecological systemic un
 raveling\,\nartificial intelligence stands as both a mirror and a symptom 
 of\nmodernity’s habits: control\, mastery\, and separation. 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 ��ݮ��Ƶ\, Room 164\n(Greenhouse
 )  |  190 Westmount Road N. \, ��ݮ��Ƶ\, ON | (formerly\nSt. Paul's Co
 llege)\n\nPlease register using the online event  form\n[https://uwaterlo
