AI apps hold not only the promise of empowering us with complete supremacy over our bodies but also with utter control of nature itself. We want to believe that AI can somehow give us mastery over nature by simply measuring and managing it. But how did we come to think that nature is separated from us, measurable, and manageable? And how is this conviction reflected in the way we generate knowledge about and understand nature today? What are we consciously or unconsciously leaving aside, so we can build our predictable models that regularly fail? This chapter discusses the genealogy of measurements and nature, as well as its effects on the way you conceive employing AI in matters of environment.
