This Workshop delves into the transformative potential of AI to shape our futures, emphasizing a holistic approach that seeks benefits for all. It invites participants to imagine and contribute to the creation of futures where AI acts as a catalyst for societal progress, environmental sustainability, and inclusive growth. It’s not just about the future of AI, but about the futures AI enables and how we choose to navigate them.
Many researchers and practitioners have come to the conclusion that community engagement is vital for AI solutions to serve the greater good. But what does that mean exactly and how can I embrace that principle when I conceive of AI-powered solutions and ideas? What does it look like when I structure data and algorithms? What can policy do to support that approach? What does a future powered by people look like in terms of AI?
In this workshop, we will hear from experts in the field about what agency means in the context of AI futures. We will also get direct insight about creative approaches to design, scale and iterate AI solutions that have demonstrated ways of including that complexity in practice.
During this half day workshop, we will:
Deep dive into the spectrum of AI futures to understand their comprehensive impact on personal life, businesses, environment and society.
Engage with selected AI future scenarios within the specific domains of food systems to co-create a vision of “preferred” scenarios
Collaboratively develop actionable strategies for shaping or mitigating these futures, identify necessary actions, policies, and innovations to realize these futures or mitigate their risks.
The participants will hear from diverse speakers, engage in an iterative and participatory process to generate pathways supported by informed decision-making and a holistic approach to navigating AI for the benefit of the whole.
