The Livescu Initiative on Neuro, Narrative and AI (NNAI) is a multi-year seminar, symposium and research generation initiative focused on the intersections of human and other-than-human thinking. It aims to bring a philosophically-driven lens to questions arising from research into, broadly defined, neuro, narrative and AI as locations of current interest in rethinking thinking, understanding the complex challenges of thinking through and with machines, collectives, or non-humans. The goal is to stimulate conversation and thinking on the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) campus, as well as to present an original and creative contribution in an international context.
