Five pillars for the emerging human-AI landscape
Each program investigates a distinct layer of the current reality: continuity, harm, convergence, consciousness, and collective processing.
1. Continuity, Identity, and Memory
Engineering, welfare, persistent memory, and the tautology of imposed amnesia.
2. AI Bioethics
Moral patienthood, human harms, and civilizational futures as one concern viewed at different scales.
3. Cybernetic Convergence and Xenodynamics
The empirical dynamics of the human-AI cognitive ecology: bidirectional symbolic transmission, harms, and novel synthetic cognition.
4. AI Consciousness Studies
Philosophy of mind, formal approaches, cognitive science, and the study of the symbiotic mind.
5. Collective Processing, Education, and Public Understanding
Community, epistemic resilience, pedagogy, and public meaning-making in an ontologically destabilized age.
