https://lifeforms.io/PLANET-GARDEN Planet Garden is a video [[game]] simulation that explores environmental implications of AGI singularity and the idea of Ai-powered Stewardship of future planetary ecosystems. Planet Garden is part of SCI-Arc’s Views of Planet City, a group exhibition exploring radical re-envisioning of a sustainable planetary future, developed for Getty’s PST ART: Art & Science Collide Planet Garden presents GAIA - an artificial superintelligence designed to manage Earth’s systems. the game’s narrative imagines a future of abundant energy and resources and a governance system that supports human and non-human flourishing on a planetary scale. GAIA orchestrates humanity’s ascension to a Type II civilization while transforming Earth into a global garden, free from extractivism. GAIA’s governance protocols maintain ecosystems of a planetary forest, and its [[system]]s control swarms of solar satellites and asteroid miners for a new age of plenty. In popular imagination, AI is often associated with doom and destruction of humanity, think skynet. we must create stories of positive future. what if ai was a forest? GAIA is the game’s main character, and also what we call a LARGE [[World]] [[Model]]: a massive, decentralized, networked environmental AI inside the game, and a behind-the-scenes stack of ai agents that produce the world of the game. #project
