Shannon Vallor and Fabio Tollon on stage presenting their landscape study of responsible AI

The @braiduk.bsky.social gathering did an amazing job with presenting artists and researchers who address real-world questions around AI by actually engaging with people and learning from them. After hearing two weeks of technical talks at CHAI and RLDM, this was a most welcome break of pace.

Steph Wright of the Scottish AI Alliance asking exactly the right question at our @braiduk.bsky.social gathering in Manchester: β€˜How can we change the narrative from β€˜Are you ready for AI? How can we make you AI-ready?’ to β€˜Is AI ready for you? Is it good enough yet to be in your life, or business?’

We chart the role of
various actors and communities in this ecosystem’s emergence, especially the vital contributions from the
arts and humanities, and the historical development and contestation of different meanings of
β€˜responsibility’ in the context of AI.
