>>social awareness
At the core of our activities is the dissemination of knowledge and raising public awareness through communication channels that highlight the significant scientific research on AI being conducted across computer science, engineering, as well as the social sciences and the humanities. Central to this effort is dialogue, which we consider a key tool for understanding and co-shaping AI. We aim to empower individuals, collectives, and institutions with the necessary critical thinking skills and digital literacy by intervening in the public sphere, organizing workshops, and promoting science outreach activities in society.
Our goal is for AI to be used as a tool with full awareness of its risks and socio-environmental impacts. We advocate for informed, contextualized, critical, and active engagement with AI, fostering a connection between people and “visible” machines, and understanding our collective participation in these technologies as a society.
