Civic Tech and AI - A conversation with Austria and Germany
Is artificial intelligence the best or worst thing to happen to us? How should we approach this new technology? What are the opportunities and risks? What role should government play in this space?
So far, big tech companies or governments have dominated the conversations around the potential and dangers of artificial intelligence. But what about civil society? What does this conversation look like in Austria and Germany?
Wonderwerk, a German based design firm focused on supporting the public sector in becoming more innovative, digital, and agile, is hosting a site visit for leaders from the Austrian & German Public Sector who are coming to London to learn more about the government and AI ecosystem here. They will be visiting both government and private sector groups leading the conversation on AI in government. But there is a very important voice missing. What about civil society?
We are using this as an opportunity to bring forward this other perspective.
You are invited because you are a leader within the civic tech and community space. We are hosting a small select group of thinkers to start a conversation about what a civil tech perspective on AI could be. It will also be a chance to learn about how AI is being approached within both Germany and Austria.
Please let us know if you can make it and think of one person who you would want to invite to this conversation. Could you RSVP by Tuesday June 20th.
