What happens to the planet when factories run themselves and production can scale without friction? If full automation lets us churn out vast quantities of material goods faster and cheaper, how will that alter resource extraction, emissions, waste, and the rules (or lack of rules) that govern them? Weโll tackle scenarios from runaway mineral demand and automated logging to closed-loop manufacturing, regulatory gaps, and the political incentives that shape what gets built and what gets left behind.
Whether you care about climate science, supply chains, tech policy, design, or just love an animated argument, bring your curiosity and a willingness to push apart assumptions about scale, oversight, and responsibility.The Ai Salon is a global community founded in San Francisco focused on intimate, small-sized group discussions on the sociological, economic, cultural, and philosophical impacts and meaning of AI developments. We host small group discussions, all of which you can find on our calendar. You can find summaries of our previous conversations on our substack.
