State of the Field and an Invitation to Build What Comes Next Possible Planet Lab — 2026 Brief Executive summary Humanity has entered a phase shift in its relationship with Earth. For the first time, we possess the technical capacity to perceive planetary change in near-real time and the cognitive tools—via artificial intelligence—to synthesize, simulate, and coordinate responses at unprecedented… Read more →
Bioregional intelligence is understanding and living within the ecological boundaries (watersheds, ecosystems) of your specific place, recognizing how nature’s patterns (water, land, species) shape human life, fostering local resilience, and integrating Indigenous wisdom to create sustainable cultures, moving beyond political borders to build deeper, place-based relationships for ecological health. It’s about seeing the world as interconnected life systems, connecting fragmented… Read more →
Executive Summary The AI Integrity Checker should launch as a targeted, credible demonstration rather than a comprehensive monitoring system. By focusing on a single high-profile case study—Claude’s development and safety evolution—you can tell a compelling story while building the technical foundation for broader work. Why Start with Claude (Anthropic)? 1. Rich Public Safety Narrative Anthropic has been exceptionally transparent about… Read more →
Below is the full modular proposal packet rewritten to remove the acronym and ensure that the name of the initiative flows naturally. Where appropriate, the document refers to it simply as: the initiative, the project, the program, or the Planetary Intelligence Program (PIP), without overusing any single term. The overall title is now: Developing Planetary Intelligence for a Regenerative Future… Read more →
Imagining a future in which there are billions of AI agents and personas, how can these systems control and constrain themselves to ensure nature-supportive policies and avoid harming human beings and the planet? Is there a role for Eleanor Ostrom’s eight principles for effectively governing a commons? Absolutely — Ostrom’s work becomes not only relevant but foundational when imagining a… Read more →
(Gemini:) The phrase “the birth of planetary intelligence” refers to a emerging scientific and philosophical concept that describes a planet’s ecosystem, including life forms and technology, functioning as a form of collective cognition. It suggests that intelligence is an emergent, planetary-scale process rather than just a property of individual organisms. Key Concepts Planetary Intelligence: This idea, explored in a 2022… Read more →
