BC’s AI ecosystem is best understood as a dynamic network—like a mycorrhizal web—where diverse perspectives and open-source collaboration fuel creativity and resilience.

The British Columbia Artificial Intelligence ecosystem isn't some massive corporate machine - it's more like a mycorrhizal network in the forest, you feel me? Small but mighty, connecting different species of thinkers: the academic deep divers, the creative edge-pushers, the environmental warriors.

We're all about that open source life, sharing nutrients and knowledge through the underground. When we honor all these different ways of knowing - from computational to cultural, from academic to ancestral - that's when we start seeing AI for what it could be: not just another extractive technology, but a tool for collective flourishing.
