Altri Mondi, Altri Modi Festival
April 11, 2025 - 6:00 pm
Turin, Italy
In April 2025, we’ll have the pleasure of participating in Altri Mondi, Altri Modi, a festival dedicated to political imagination and alternative futures, taking place in Turin, Italy. We’ll join the debate:
“Energy-Technological Transition: Artificial Intelligence, Exploitation, and the Human-Machine Relationship”
The conversation will explore the material dimensions of AI—its reliance on natural resources, human labor, and data—and how these intersect with broader technological and environmental transitions. We’ll reflect on the infrastructures behind AI systems and the need to evaluate their impacts across social, ecological, and economic dimensions.

18th Conference of the International Society for Ecological Economics and 11th International Degrowth Conference
24 to 27 June 2025
Oslo, Norway
We’re excited to present our work at the upcoming ISEE-Degrowth Joint Conference 2025 at the University of Oslo. Our abstract presentation, “Toward a Degrowth Theory of AI,” explores how artificial intelligence systems—often framed as solutions to climate challenges—are deeply shaped by growth imperatives that drive environmental degradation, social inequity, and epistemic injustice.
In this talk, we argue for a degrowth framework for AI rooted in planetary justice and inspired by Global South ecologies and technologies. We invite reflections on how AI could be reimagined as a socio-environmental-technical system that prioritizes interdependence, pluralistic knowledge, and the right to refuse harmful technologies.

Mapping Data Work Workshop
March 19 - March 20, 2025
Bengaluru, India
In March 2025, we had the opportunity to present our Epistemic Justice in AI Datasets project at the Mapping Data Work Workshop in Bengaluru, co-organized by the University of Amsterdam, Aapti Institute, and Tattle. This multi-stakeholder gathering brought together researchers, activists, data workers, and designers to collectively explore the often-ignored human and planetary costs of AI.
