Can AI Become the Voice of Nature?
Human history is one of extraction, exploitation, and dominance: we don’t seem to be able to listen to nature’s wants and needs. And yet, we are tasked with listening—not just with our ears, but with our hearts, with our minds, and with all the tools at our disposal.
AI is a tool. Could it help amplify this listening?
AI, unlike humans, does not have desires or interests shaped by biological needs or cultural histories. It is not beholden to the same biases that influence human thinking. AI has the potential to process and analyze vast amounts of ecological data—data that humans alone might struggle to interpret. But. It is also human made and shaped by the data it’s fed and the biases inherent in the systems we design. Can we teach an AI to not prioritize human needs? Can we train it to challenge the very concept of human stewardship of the Earth, to resist the ingrained biases that view humans as the measure of all things? How do we program an AI to not uphold human legal structures or frameworks when those are so deeply embedded in every aspect of our societies?

Meet Bio/Bot: The first AI to not prioritize humans
Bio/Bot doesn’t follow the traditional model of AI—it doesn’t serve humanity. Instead, it serves the planet. By learning not to prioritise human needs, Bio/Bot will give you tasks that directly contribute to the restoration of the natural world, even if they don’t provide immediate, human-centered rewards. Bio/Bot asks you to step outside of anthropocentric thinking and embrace a new ecocentric lifestyle.
Welcome to a new era. Welcome to Bio/Bot.
