A race that Europe will win: greener cities

The article discusses how AI, while perceived as a new frontier, is deeply rooted in historical patterns of reductionism, extraction, optimization, and othering. It highlights the negative impacts of AI on society, such as job loss and environmental degradation, while proposing alternative approaches like symbiosis, resonance, belonging without othering, and plurality. European cities are presented as examples of successful, greener urban living that counteract the machine-like logic of AI. Cities like Bilbao and Copenhagen exemplify community-oriented practices and human-scale development, suggesting that a more intelligent societal organization can emerge in response to AI challenges.
