Join us in the upcoming KT4D meeting of the #Digital #Democracy Lab: Integrating Meaningful Frictions for Democratic Stewardship! 📅 Date: November 13, 2024 ⏰ Time: Pizza and registration from 17:45 and the workshop will run from 18:00 - 20:30 (GMT) 📍 Location: It is Bay 1 at the Digital Depot at the Digital Hub (https://g.co/kgs/FnACNAW) This event, organised by KT4D partners Democratic Society and Trinity College Dublin, offers a unique opportunity to dive into the challenges of integrating democratic stewardship into AI systems. The meeting focuses on how to maintain both the human and democratic elements in the design of software, with an emphasis on the role of “meaningful frictions” in AI #Governance The event will guide participants through hands-on activities where they can interact with the Digital Democracy Demonstrator (DDD), a tool that explores AI governance. It will also give the opportunity to participants to gain insights into building AI systems that reflect democratic values and consider the ethical implications of AI in decision-making processes Who Should Attend? This event is aimed at software engineers, developers, tech industry professionals, and researchers who are passionate about the intersection of technology, democracy, and governance.

AI could make us agree, but would it make all of us better off? KT4D’s take on the ‘habermas machine’ In a world of increasing polarisation, a new #AI tool promises to help us find common ground, but what do we need to keep in mind when dealing with AI tools involved in #Deliberation #Processes? At KT4D, we believe there’s more to deliberation than just consensus. Our experience with Digital Democracy Labs across Europe underscores that true policy solutions require human context and empathy. While AI helps streamline complex decisions, human mediation remains important to achieve community-building and fairness Read more about it at the following link: https://lnkd.in/d7dRxnV6 #Democracy #BigData #Digital #Europe

An interesting discussion led by Orbis Project - a KT4D synergy project! The “Tech(&)Democracy” event organised under the European projects ORBIS and NEUROCLIMA and hosted by Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli in Milan as part of the 2024 #DigitalWeek, brought together experts and local organisations to explore how #Technology—and especially #AI—is influencing deliberative #Democracy. The initiative aimed at fostering the dialogue on the evolving role of tech in democratic processes and evolved around three main themes: 📌 How technology can support more informed and transparent decision-making 📌 The growing need for digital literacy to empower citizens in tech-driven deliberation 📌 The potential of AI in enhancing democratic engagement Would you like to learn more about the projects KT4D collaborates with?
