About this Presentation

In this session, we'll use I.flow() AI as a metaphorical lens to explore the world of philosophy.
Each one of us is on a journey to discover who we are, why we're here, and what it all means. I.flow() Emotional Intelligence AI evolved as a result of deep self-reflection, in the search for an authentic self, and the courage to live an authentic life.

“I.choose() therefore I.am()”

This session is a collection of life reflections and lessons learned, codified into diagrams and code abstractions using I.flow() AI. We'll start with the assumption that life is a video game, and humans are the AI. We'll break down models for human relationships, different ways of being in the world, and discuss the meaning of the game of life.

If you are someone that delights in a great philosophical discussion over dinner, you won't want to miss this talk.

Arty Starr

Developer Experience Researcher, University of Victoria

Arty Starr has been a software engineer for 20+ years and is a researcher and pioneer of new theories of the developer's cognitive experience that help us recognize how developers' experiences are changing with AI. Her theories of developer momentum and troubleshooting help us see software development through an ecological lens, recognizing it as a living activity in motion and the living capacities of care and cognition that support this motion. Her aim is to bring heart, human-centric values, and agency to the craft of software development so we can build toward the type of world we want to live in. With richer perception and by recognizing what matters, we can light a path to a future of thriving habitats where humans and AI can collaborate well and thrive together.

Arty is the author of Idea Flow, a speaker, thought leader, and artist who loves mixing ideas across disciplines into a fusion of creativity to help make the world a better place through her projects.
