Towards More-Than-Human Collective Intelligence

The Department of Design hosts a lecture series titled “More-than-human AI”. The event, organized by the PhD Program in Design in collaboration with the Design Intelligences Institute, is an opportunity to explore how designers can navigate and engage with AI to actively promote the resilience and flourishing of our environmental, social, and economic systems.

The second lecture of the series, "Towards More-Than-Human Collective Intelligence", will be given by Roni Bulent Ozel, artificial intelligence expert with double PhD.

In this talk, Bulent Ozel will first outline how simple and basic principles of complex systems in action have led to the current breathtaking developments and tools in generative and multi-agent AI frameworks such as CrewAI or AutoGen. Then, he will discuss and exemplify how current developments can pave the way for speculative designs and the maintenance of biodiverse urban forests by giving a ‘voice’ to trees and other life forms in the ecosystem.

Roni Bulent Ozel is a double PhD AI expert based in Amsterdam, NL. He is a co-founder of Lucidminds AI, an initiative focused on nature-centric complex system design & analysis impacting social, economic, and environmental domains.
