AI for Systems Change: The Promises and Pitfalls of Augmenting the Practice of Systemic Investing

This talk first outlines the practice of systemic investing, and then presents the capabilities, limitations, so-called externalities, and rhetorical framings of AI in general. On this basis, the ways in which AI is both conceptually and empirically able to augment the practice of systemic investing is then presented, highlighting the tensions that result from AI augmentations, and concluding with the need for further work to mainstream a critical, designerly approach to the augmentation of systemic investing, and systems practice more widely, in future.
