Francesca Bria, a renowned digital policy expert and a member of the NEB high-level roundtable, set the stage for the summit by highlighting the multitude of challenges and crises facing our world today. From systemic transformations to climate breakdown, trade wars to threats to democratic systems, the list is extensive and daunting.

She pointed out the ‘European paradox’ of advocating for digital sovereignty while heavily relying on foreign technology, leading in climate commitments while still dependent on carbon-based systems, and championing ethical AI without the necessary infrastructure to support these values.

The summit aimed to envision a ‘public purpose’ amidst these complex issues. Following Bria, US climate-fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson, author of the influential novel ‘The Ministry for the Future,’ joined the discussion virtually due to being affected by Covid19.

The morning session focused on ecology, with a panel moderated by Francesca Bria featuring EU director general for Environment Patrick Anthony Child and former chair of the German Advisory Council on Global Change Hans Joachim Schellnhuber. Discussions revolved around moving from legislation to action, with a particular emphasis on water resilience, circular economy, and nature restoration.

The summit also showcased various lighthouse projects and initiatives, such as ‘Voice of Commons’ advocating for global commons, SUPERFLEX’s design methods incorporating nonhuman elements, and the ‘Bauhaus of the Seas Sails’ project promoting regenerative and locally grounded solutions.

In the afternoon, the summit shifted its focus to technology, with Francesca Bria highlighting the Eurostack proposal for European digital sovereignty. The discussions revolved around building an AI future that values networking, co-design, cultural diversity, and the common good.

Art-science collaborations between computing centers and artists were explored, emphasizing the importance of integrating art into technology for a more holistic approach. The panel also delved into the ethical considerations of AI and the environmental impacts of data centers.

The summit concluded with a call for better integration of ecological and technological thinking, emphasizing the need for art-science bridges to connect the twin transitions. The goal is to create a post-extractivist future for digital infrastructure that values both human and nonhuman perspectives.

Overall, the summit highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and creative thinking in addressing the complex challenges of our time. By bridging the gap between ecology and technology, we can work towards a more sustainable and inclusive future.
