Panel: Festivals as Experimentation Spaces for an Acceptable AI

This panel discussion explores how real-life settings -such as festivals, university campuses or libraries- can be transformed as experimentation spaces for responsible AI development. As AI increasingly (re-) shapes our physical and social environments, questions of placemaking take on new urgency: Who decides how AI is integrated into our public spaces? How much AI and which types of AI are socially acceptable?

Panelists will discuss methodologies for transforming campuses, libraries, festivals, and other public spaces into open laboratories for participatory science and innovation, while exploring tensions and opportunities. By transforming cultural and creative spaces into sites of scientific and technological experimentation, can we jointly unveil the social impacts of AI?

Short Description of CSSIAI

The rapidly evolving field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds huge potential (for example in the field of healthcare), yet the development and application of these technologies often lack societal input. The ‘Citizen Science and the Societal Impacts of Artificial Intelligence’ (CSSIAI) project addresses this gap by integrating Citizen Science (CS) methodologies into the AI research lifecycle.
