Re-Braiding Cybernetics & AI Project

The Re-Braiding Cybernetics & Artificial Intelligence Project was launched on March 25, 2026, an online conversation titled “The Split”, using the moment when a group researchers decided to coin a new term—”Artificial Intelligence”—as a means of declaring separation from their grounding in Cybernetics.

See this summary page of that first session, including links to the video of the conversation, slides shown, papers mentioned, and ultimately an online conversation to move the discourse forward, exploring how and why each field—Cybernetics and AI—may influence each other.
