Through three episodes in collaboration with FemData, this series unpacks the hidden impacts of data bias, examines the power dynamics driving AI systems and explores policies and initiatives shaping its future. This series seeks to explore building equitable, inclusive and responsible AI technologies that benefit everyone. Join us as we navigate the challenges and opportunities of an AI-driven world. How can we influence the future of AI to ensure it benefits society? What policies and initiatives are needed to safeguard its development and use? In this programme, we will explore ideas for shaping AI through policymaking and advocacy. From the EU’s regulatory approaches to local and grassroots initiatives, we will examine the tools and strategies that can guide AI’s impact on our society.
