Elise Marcus - Earthlyai

Plants have been around for roughly 470 million years, while our first human ancestors have only been around for 5-7 million years. Yet when we represent plants, we often portray them at the bottom of the pyramid: something that doesn’t feel or communicate. But what if they could? What if this anthropocentric misconception has been created simply because we don’t speak the same language? Earthly.ai investigates what it might mean when we represent plants via AI, and communicate with them in digital space. Come hear plants finally telling their story.
