Part 1 of 2 AI Futures v1.0
The Current System
An analysis of the current AI system: who it concentrates power in, what it costs in talent and resources, and who it leaves out.
Project
AI Futures
AI Futures is Paxterra's first project in this space: a two-part inquiry into artificial intelligence as a system, not just a technology. Part 1 traces how the current system concentrates power, drains talent, and strains resources. Part 2 asks what changes if we treat AI as public infrastructure, the way we treat electricity or water, and sketches what that could look like. Together they are v1.0 of Paxterra's AI Futures work; more parts join this lineage as the thinking develops.

From Pax Machina to Pax Terra
A close read of the futures tech leaders are writing (AI 2027, Europe 2031, AI 2040, and the corporate abundance manifestos). In all of them, the planet has zero causal weight; every physical constraint becomes an engineering line-item. On deus ex machina thinking, the three gates to abundance, and why this studio is called Paxterra and not that.
