Debate 8: Joining the Public Discourse on Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence

Our exciting new series of online debates will explore civil society perspectives on the emerging digital world every first Thursday of the month from 16:00 CET.

Moderated by our ED Wolfgang Jamann, the 8th Digital Debate discussed what CSOs should do to understand technological trends and outcomes, know what conversations to have, how to influence technological developments and regulatory frameworks, and, eventually, what technology to challenge or use for themselves and with their communities.

Our panellists:
-Anne Mollen, Policy & Advocacy Manager at AlgorithmWatch
-Franziska Heine, Head of the Software Development Department at Wikimedia Deutschland
-Benjamin Rosman, Associate Professor in the School of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa
