Description

AI Genius Loci is board game developed by Lanka.pro Collective from Ukraine. It is using IDG framework as a way for local communities to explore their unique identities, cultural and natural assets. By grounding themselves in their sources of inspiration communities learn to sense their desired future. The tool is applying an agentic approach to artificial intelligence and uses technology as a way to mirror the blind spots and bring multidimensional perspective. The long-term goal of the tool is helping communities to build their developmental strategies based on their authenticity and highest potential of the people and place.


Learnings

While prototyping this solution our team was thinking about some educational formats that will help people to seek for their authenticity. Hover after sensing journey with the potential beneficiaries we realised that it was not knowledge that was missing. Spaces for deep reflection and dialogues has been missing. Therefore we combined card game and artificial intelligence to serve as a facilitator for deep conversation. It guides through the limitations of knowing about the past and opens up the beauty of the present moment and well as earlier unseen possibilities of the future.
