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 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.
