Early bird registration for the Digital Humanism conference in May (Vienna) open until beginning of April!! I’ll be hosting a session on AI & Democracy together with Katja Mayer (28.5.2025): we’ve fabulous guests from around the world: Teki Akuetteh (Ms.), Siddhi Gupta, Michael Veale & Sebastian Kneidinger – to discuss how to move from values to action in terms of inclusive AI, human rights, and participatory design in times of political turmoil.
