Have you ever thought about Intergenerational Fairness?

Together with 2 participants from the European Citizen Panel on Intergenerational Fairness we will explore the topic in small groups. Let's work on solutions we can upload to the official Citizen Engagement platform!

In last night’s talk with Dragoș Adăscăliței from Eurofound we learned that only 12% of EU workers use generative AI tools like ChatGPT or Midjourney. Use ranges from ~20% in 🇱🇺🇸🇪🇧🇪🇳🇱🇩🇰 to <5% in 🇬🇷🇮🇹🇵🇹🇷🇴 (as of Dec 2024).

Let’s make sure access to AI don’t become the next digital divide.

Not quite.
