This one-day, in-person workshop explores AI as a geographical phenomenon, foregrounding distinct yet interconnected concerns across algorithmic, urban, and planetary scales. From the algorithmic operations that shape judgement and decision-making, to the urban infrastructures that organise and govern everyday life, to the planetary dynamics of infrastructure, computation, and geopolitical power, AI must be understood not only as a technical system but also as a spatial one. The workshop invites collective inquiry into the transversal logics that bind these scales, asking how AI gives rise to new spatial formations entangled with shifting regimes of power, governance, and calculation. In doing so, it foregrounds the need for a geographical lens through which these transformations can be more fully understood and critically examined.
