☕Ethics & Espresso: The Social Impact of AI - A side-event at RAISE Summit
Are you craving a real, human conversation about where AI is taking us as a society?
Join us for an informal breakfast organized by Consciously Digital Institute to explore the ethical and societal dimensions of AI, in a more personal way.
Open to researchers, policymakers, founders, engineers, skeptics, and everyone in between.
Bring your thoughts, doubts, and curiosity. We'll bring the questions.
Ticket includes 1 coffee.
Hosted by Dr Anastasia Dedyukhina - twice TEDx speaker, best-selling author of Homo Distractus.
Why come?
Reflect on the big questions behind the summit’s big themes — without the microphones.
Connect with others who care about how AI affects society, policy, power, and people - not just profits.
Get a wider perspective on opportunities and risks AI will bring
Enjoy structured small-group conversations over coffee — no panels, no pitches, no recordings - just honesty.
You’ll leave with:
New perspectives from people outside your usual bubble
Honest insights from those building, governing, or questioning AI
A clear head (and a good coffee and croissant) before the next full day of panels
Topics may include:
What kind of future are we unintentionally building by working in AI - and what can we do minimize the negative impact?
How is AI transforming the way we take decisions and process information and remember things? What does it mean for the future of learning?
Who really should be responsible for AI outcomes?
How do we mitigate the potential climate risks AI is creating?
Global South - the powerhouse behind the current AI growth. Is AI exacerbating social inequality and waht can be done about it?
If AI can do things that were supposed to be left for humans (i.e. creativity or psychological support), what does it mean for the new generation?
Agenda:
7.45-8am - arrival, order your breakfast (we might choose a take-away order and just go enjoy the park together, but we meet in front of Angelina cafe!)
8-9am - structured networking and discussions
Event language: English
The number of places is limited because the coffee shop has only that many croissants ;) - so please only register if you are coming.
