AI & Democracy @ Digital Humanism Conference

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. This event is co-hosted by the ÖAW initiative “Democracy in Digital Society” (DEMGES) that I co-lead together with Barbara Prainsack (chair).

ÖAW initiative: Democracy in Digital Societies

On the 10th of October 2024 we – Barbara Prainsack and me – start a new initiative at the Austrian Academy of Sciences: Democracy in Digital Societies (ÖAW commission).
Besides an internal workshop and the official inauguration, there will be a public event
with a lecture by Sophie in ‘t Veld, former member of the European Parliament, followed by a panel discussion with Ilona Kickbusch, Sonja Puntscher-Riekmann, Barbara Prainsack, and me (moderated by Anna Goldenberg). We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
