The actions Redefine, dimension,engage and rebuild. AI faces planetary limits: what can we do? Part 1. The situation animism adjusted consideration A geopolitics of the living→ diplomacy of interdependances (not a diplomacy of individual interests)→ power of action = apprehend interdependancesex. wolves, sheep, dogs, shepherds, soil. Bikes (2kWh/100p-km) Increase accessible space.Reparable, no external energy.Low cost, accessible to all. Cars (80kWh/100p-km) Increase accessible space.Dependence to oil, to reachable places.Expensive, deleterious to the planet. Radical monopoly! Technologies of AI Allow for fast automated decision making by machines.Reduce "power of action", decision making, know-how.Increase dependence to machine, oil: reduces resilience. 123 robustness, repairability performance environment level of independence of end-user to the tool resource availability power of action of the end-user including energy preservation, and danger of non-resilience accessibility to society 0 20 40 60 80 100 Deep-learning based Lowtech paper-based solution on tablet decision tree Intermediary position low mortality ratetablets: unusable without energyrare metals extracted frommines by other children Communities of importance- who are we?- we are our mitochondria, our body envelop, our ground, the living, life?
