Session Summary
This session will examine how artificial intelligence (AI), Doughnut Economics, and contemplative practices can inform adaptive strategies for navigating the radical changes driven by generative AI. We will explore systems thinking approaches, tipping points, and key levers of change that can guide decision-making toward humane, sustainable outcomes. Open questions for discussion include how modeling, simulation, and cross-boundary collaboration can simplify complexity, strengthen community agency, and foster resilience in rapidly evolving social, economic, and ecological contexts.
