Waag

Due to the Corona virus outbreak and the measures announced by the Dutch government, Waag is cancelling all public events up until April 6, 2020. Attendees of our events have been notified. Please keep an eye on our website as we&#x27;re working on postponing our events and offering alternative online sessions.---• Do you want to learn more about Artificial Intelligence?• Do you want to change your world/the world through AI?• Do you see yourself differently from the way your search engine sees you?• Do the discriminating factors of artificial intelligence bother you? • Do you want to discuss the implications of AI for our future?If your answer to any of these questions is yes – and you are between 18 and 30 years old, join us in our 1.5 day of workshops, initiated by the Goethe-Institut and held together with Waag. Help us to shape the discourse on AI and algorithms among young people like you all over Europe! No prior knowledge required. What is it about?Big data, algorithms, deep learning, the combination of information and biotechnology: artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing our world and our lives. While the economy is already using the potential of this development, politics and civil society are lagging behind. How do we generate algorithms that do not reproduce or even reinforce prejudices? How can AI support an open, democratic society? In this workshop, you will listen to key note speeches and participate in discussions on the status quo of AI and machine learning, on algorithmic injustice and values. Together we will identify ideas and questions that are relevant for young people in Europe and develop formats for subsequent events that will be part of the Europe-wide project of the Goethe-Institut and its partners: &#x27;Generation A=Algorithm&#x27;. ParticipantsWe are happy to welcome an eclectic mix of people: • between 18 and 30 years of age, • of different backgrounds and levels of knowledge, be it activists and professionals from the fields of Machine Learning and AI or people with no prior knowledge at all• We are especially keen to invite members of minorities and groups to our workshop that may suffer from the results of algorithmic injusticeProjectIn the project Generation A, the Goethe-Institut together with partners and experts want to engage and empower members of generations Y and Z to not only take part but shape the discourse on technical and ethical developments in the field of AI. These two generations will set the course for the next generation, Generation A, and their everyday use of algorithms. The aim is to stimulate a social debate about existing approaches, potentials and risks of AI. Workshops such as this one all over Europe will be the kick-off of the project Generation A.European NetworkThe Goethe-Institut will initiate a network of European institutions and interest groups - a European A(i)lliance – that will accompany and advise the project over a period of two years. If interested, several participants from the workshop in Amsterdam will be invited to become part of this A(i)lliance that will meet up in Berlin later this year, all expenses paid.
