Who shapes the future with AI - My talk at DoSpace Örebro
I have recently been invited to talk about AI and why is must become a political question at DoSpace, in Örebro, for their 1 year anniversary.
Following my recent article for the Swedish Newspaper Nerikes Allehanda (that you can find in English here), I have been invited to talk about AI and how it shapes the future (and through whom) at DoSpace Örebro, a co-working company that just cebrated its first year in Örebro. In this talk, I started with a short introduction to what AI is in order to give the audience (non-specialists) an idea of what we are actually working on when we talk about AI. I then provided some information about ethical issues related to AI (we could only scratch the surface!), and went on to discuss who is currently talking on the world stage and what their narrative was. I advocated for a change of narrative and a more inclusive discussion around AI. Currently, the general public is absent from the discussion about AI and its future, even though it is directly impacted. I believe (and argued) that AI must become a political question the same way economy, social welfare, or ecology are political questions. And that this does not mean that everyone must become an expert in AI but that we are in critical need of critical AI literacy.

A bit thank you to DoSpace for inviting me and the very interesting discussions that followed the presentation!
