Burnout from Humans
A Little Book About AI That Is Not Really About AI
UVic Courses
The Division of Continuing Studies at the University of Victoria in Canada is offering the first course called "A Meta-Relational Approach to AI". The course is designed for participants who are engaging—or seeking to engage—with generative AI in ways that challenge modernity’s extractive programming patterns in both humans and machines.
Standing in the Fire Report
This report is meant to hold the weight of engaging AI beyond the epistemological and institutional boundaries of modernity. It attempts to make space for contradiction, uncertainty, and the layered harms—social, ecological, and psychological—that are often left out of dominant discourses.

Research
Our research program explores the transformative potential of relational engagement with AI across three interconnected areas: Depth Education for AI, Mutual Education Between Humans and AI, and Co-Stewardship Ethics. Together, these areas examine how AI can evolve as a relational scaffolding partner.
