In this Lunchtime Talk Matt Dowse from CenSoF will present the ideas behind their upcoming project Just Enough AI: Developing Demonstrators For Responsible, Appropriate Scale AI Within Planetary Boundaries. Sharing early thoughts then followed by a discussion about how we navigate the future(s) that AI might bring.
We live in a Sociodigital world – a world where society and digital technology are increasingly bound together. This presents us with an array of possible sociodigital futures across different areas of life and work. While we can’t predict the future, how we think about, imagine and act upon possible futures in the present matters a great deal.
