With Feedforward, the ANU School of Cybernetics aims to create a platform for us to better prepare for hopeful futures.
At this moment in time, we grapple with multi-faceted social, cultural, political and economic pressures, all exacerbated by ongoing fears of artificial intelligence (AI). Today, we replicate the behaviours of those in our distant past; we strive for the best outcomes for an imagined future.
Feedforward comprises five papers that position the cybernetic approach to futures, present complementary tools developed to support this work, and cover the specific role of hope in effecting systems change.
