​Come cowork with other folks thinking about AI & democracy!

If you came to the previous AI & Democracy coworking day, it'll be at the same place with a similar structure for the day, with a few tweaks:

  • This event is invite-only. If you have a friend or colleague who you think would be a good fit, please email rachel@goldengateinstitute.org.

  • We're excited to host on a day when the entire global team from the Collective Intelligence Project will be able to join us in SF!

​Why this event?

​AI both poses significant challenges to democracies, and provides opportunities for better governance. If you're reading this, you are probably part of a nascent field of experts in either democracy or AI who are interested in topics like the following:

  • ​Using AI to bolster democratic institutions

  • ​The threats that advanced AI might pose to democracies (surveillance, concentration of wealth, disinformation, etc.)

  • ​Ensuring that the path of advanced AI builds power for democracies instead of autocracies

  • ​Governance of AI companies

​We want to build a community of practice in San Francisco around these intertwined issues.

​Hosts

​This event is co-hosted by the Golden Gate Institute for AI and the Collective Intelligence Project.
