☕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?
