Events
Events to discuss ideas, arguments and strategies to ensure that data and AI work for people and society
We convene virtual events to discuss ideas, arguments and strategies around minimising the societal harms of data and AI and maximising the benefits to enhance individual and social wellbeing.
As an independent organisation, we provide a platform for multidisciplinary and plural discussions that is independent of the interests of industry and government.
