Reimagining AI: What if We Needed Wisdom Instead of Intelligence?

AI is not just a technological revolution. It is a mirror of our civilisation's deepest choices. In this keynote, entrepreneur and advocate Caroline Lair invites us to step beyond the dystopian script and ask more fundamental questions: why do we want AI, and what kind of intelligence do we truly need? Drawing on Solarpunk and Lunarpunk thinking, she explores how technology can become a tool for regeneration rather than extraction and control. The tools for conscious innovation already exist. What is missing are the dreamers and builders choosing to design technology that heals.
