Communitiers #209 (Winter 2025) CommunITy or DystopAIa?

Volume 2025 - Issue 4

Communities #209, Winter 2025, CommunITy or DystopAIa?, explores the intersections of Information Technology, Artificial Intelligence, and Intentional Community. Articles represent the full range of perspectives from techno-pessimism (“AI and Civilization’s Collapse”) to techno-optimism (“Information Technology, Artificial Intelligence, and the Evolution of Human Consciousness”). Several contributors describe ubiquitous screens as eroding community by isolating us from one another; but one author (assisted by ChatGPT) celebrates screens as a helpful way of tuning out and recharging, and another explains practical AI tools available for seniors. Other stories delve further into the significant ecological, social, cultural, and personal impacts of AI, social media, and digital tools in general, and how they affect life in community.
