Is this a question here: how to develop a #RealisticVirtualHarbin Hot Springs as an ethnographic field site and for sociocultural anthropology theories too?
Dear Magnus (& friends),
Thanks for your great Linkedin messages below on Tuesday April 28, 2026, and for connecting there too.

WUaS is in a #GrowWithGoogleWUaS program too in some of these regards. And I'm curious how to develop a realistic virtual Harbin further and regarding:

Will add you to the open World Univ & Sch News and Q&As / Weekly Business Meeting (loosely conducted in the manner of unprogrammed Friends NtF Quakers) which meets on Mondays at 10 am Pacific Time if you might like to join this some time. Might you like to meet on Monday May 4, 2026 or Monday May 11, at 10 am Pacific Time, or on a Tuesday etc at a similar time?
In the past, "as UNESCO’s Director for Human Sciences," where you "positioned anthropology as central to its mandate. I’m now exploring how anthropological knowledge can be made interpretable by AI, as current systems struggle with context and meaning," it would be great to talk further with you about how to develop a #RealisticVirtualHarbin Hot Springs as an ethnographic field site and for sociocultural anthropology theories as well.
All the best, abolition, Friendly NtF greetings, Yogically (re 8 limbs of Yoga), kindly,
Scott

Hi Scott Gk, I came across your work and would value connecting. As UNESCO’s Director for Human Sciences, I positioned anthropology as central to its mandate. I’m now exploring how anthropological knowledge can be made interpretable by AI, as current systems struggle with context and meaning.
Thank you for connecting.
In my previous role as Director for Social & Human Sciences at UNESCO, I worked to position anthropology, including digital anthropology, as central to its mandate of creating the conditions for peace in the minds of men and women. I’m now working with a small group of AI experts and anthropologists (Kohesis) to address a core limitation in current AI systems: while they can identify patterns in language, they lack access to the structured conceptual relationships through which disciplines such as anthropology organise knowledge — their theories, distinctions, and analytical frameworks.
As a result, AI systems risk misinterpreting social reality, with consequences for how policies are designed, markets are understood, and societies are represented.
We are developing an approach to represent this conceptual architecture through semantically enriched knowledge graphs, allowing AI systems to engage with anthropological knowledge while preserving depth, context, and scholarly integrity, and positioning anthropology more centrally in an age where AI systems increasingly shape how reality is understood and acted upon.
We are currently forming a founding academic partnership with a small number of leading universities, co-creating a semantically enriched knowledge graph that reflects the conceptual architecture of the discipline — which AI can meaningfully understand and represent.
I’ve shared a brief note here:

I would greatly value your reflections if of interest.
