Designing and Assuring Equitable AI in Public Services - with Reema Patel As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more deeply integrated into UK public services — from healthcare and social support to policing, education and welfare…

Are you interested in the use of AI in the public sector? Watch the recording of our recent webinar with @ukevaluation.bsky.social & @the-sra.org.uk to hear @reemaspatel.bsky.social discuss how AI systems are currently deployed in public service delivery.
Watch now📽️➡️

On June 12, @reemaspatel.bsky.social and Ellie O'Keefe will explore practical insights from a deliberative inquiry process led by the @adalovelaceinst.bsky.social Institute, as well as a newly developed framework and toolkit designed to support deliberative and participatory practices.

Join me to explore the potential for including the public in shaping the future of AI. I'll be exploring the potential deliberative democracy has for transforming our relationship with AI at interpersonal, local, national and international levels. And of course, transforming our use of AI itself...

Last week it was fantastic to hear from our international fellows working across New Zealand, Brazil, South East Asia and Ecuador. And beautiful weather at the BBC in Salford Quays!

Kicking off the @digitalgoodnet.bsky.social Summit this morning. We are convening two rounds of research fundee recipients and our international fellows at the BBC in Salford!

You can see where this is going... +The future is open to AI philosophers!!! (whether they will bring much heterogeneity of thought is another question...)

AI for Digital Democracy: How to navigate opportunities and threats — People Powered Explore the latest innovations in AI and participatory democracy. Hear about new helpful tools and resources, including our Playbook!

Reflecting on a thoroughly brilliant day exploring participatory research and practice at the AI Summit this year. Working with @digitalgoodnet.bsky.social @iswe-foundation.bsky.social @connectedbydata.org and so many others was a real pleasure.

Artificial intelligence could help power Britain's growth - but only if it is well-regulated, argues @reemaspatel.bsky.social

My piece on the role of artificial intelligence is now online in the Fabian Review. The timing couldn't have been better!

What a conference in the Catalan mountains, with views of the Montserrat exploring digital commons. Many new ideas, methodologies and connections have been made. Thank you!

Gorgeous views of the Catalan mountains at this retreat on the digital, data and AI commons. Thank you to the Platoniq Foundation for organising. Tomorrow I will share more about @iswe-foundation.bsky.social and @digitalgoodnet.bsky.social work.

The city of Helsinki closes all it social media accounts, full stop

Reupping this one in light of Starmer's latest announcements. First two paragraphs engage with what implications for the economy are.

The latest from me in the Fabian Review before the close of the year. I consider the implications of a forthcoming AI Bill.

Here's to another year of saying AI needs regulating(!)....

It's been a joy working with you all!

Participatory and inclusive data stewardship A landscape review

We are proud to have consulted on this new landscape review on participatory and inclusive data stewardship. We've been working with @reemaspatel.bsky.social & @adalovelaceinst.bsky.social since our launch, but this piece of work is really crucial to us. www.adalovelaceinstitute.org/report/parti...

It was a joy to steer and shape this report. You will find a foreword in it from me, reflecting on the deep social and economic traditions of commons thinking that foreground it.

And #impact through funding excellent and important work!! @digitalgoodnet.bsky.social

We are delighted to be enabling the Workers Observatory to do such excellent work engaging tech workers @digitalgoodnet.bsky.social through the Public Voices in AI fund

Wondering about BSky ownership and their likely exit. This issue may actually come up

We should all put 10p in

A very different but important perspective in my view. In my experience online can be incredibly engaging and participatory, if we can get the design right. It can also be more inclusive.

The funding is the nut to crack, I agree....
