An Interview with James Bridle
“All our discussions about other potential forms of intelligence, other intelligences that we encountered in the world, or intelligences that we imagined."
In the past year, advances in artificial intelligence have stunned the public with their verbosity and virtuosity. AI can solve obscure coding problems, attempt medical diagnoses, and compose university exam responses that would earn a perfect score. These developments have raised existential questions about the future of human work—and in so doing, reveal the habitual anthropocentrism that has led us to model intelligence primarily on “what humans do.” But what if, instead of encroaching on human creativity and capacity, AI helped us widen our definition of intelligence?
In this expansive conversation, writer, artist, and technologist James Bridle invites us to consider whether the promise of AI lies precisely in its ability to demonstrate types of intelligence that diverge from human ways of thinking and processing. Anticipating an “ecological turn” in computing, James reminds us that the computational world is materially continuous with the natural world and offers principles that could guide current technology toward a more inclusive, restorative model. Roving, ambitious, and historically informed, this interview envisions a technological future that could begin to remediate the violence done by conventional tech’s unyielding reduction of the world to ones and zeros.”

Last chance to see the Ness of Brodgar dig in action – if you’ve been thinking of visiting Orkney – don’t put it off any longer!
