description The growing planetary impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems reveals new social and environmental dilemmas, highlighting the entanglement of humans and non-humans. Viewing them as socio-technical systems reveals their impact as more than just products, pervasively distributed across space and time. To manage them sustainably, we need to look beyond the product-service to the temporalities, agencies, and scales of assemblages mobilised by AI. This issue explores perspectives such as data justice, posthumanism, and decolonization to critically rethink design in relation to AI across disciplinary boundaries, explaining the need for alternative perspectives on the challenges posed by technologies. Together, they emphasise the philosophical decentering of AI as an essential strategy that design should embrace to responsibly shape innovation. The article proposes a new decentralised approach for design to strategically position itself in the global public debate on AI systems.
