Technology: Obstacle or Enabler for Inclusion and Participation?

What can be done to ensure that technology, often hailed as the answer to combatting society's biggest challenges, tackles rather than perpetuates racial, gender, socioeconomic and other inequalities? What are some of the options for more inclusive AI? How can technology contribute to building a fairer and more just society for all?

This interactive online event will seek to address these pressing questions and more, drawing on the experience of those working to democratise technology. It will take place on the 14th April from 10:30 to 11:30 CET.

The event will be followed by an optional 30-minute networking session from 11:30 to 12:00 CET.
