Workshop – Shaping AI: Civic Action for the Common Good

The techno-deterministic paradigm of AI has exacerbated social challenges. Society is mobilising towards shaping AI for social good. This workshop brings together civil society actors, policymakers, and community stakeholders to discuss how society is shaping AI towards inclusive, equitable, and socially beneficial outcomes and particularly regarding ageing challenges.

The main questions addressed are: How are social movements, civic organisations, and governments contributing to shaping AI for the common good? What social, data, legal, political or technological mechanisms are being used to reshape AI? What are the main challenges? How is AI impacting or will impact older adults and how are older adults involved in shaping AI?

Date and Place: July 17, 9:00 to 16:30 at Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (Rambla del Poblenou, 154-156, Barcelona).
