🔇🔇🔇 On Friday April 17th (9am PDT/5pm CET/7pm EAT), we'll have a virtual event introducing our Refugees, Migrants & AI research which centers their lived experiences.

We introduce a limited podcast series highlighting Sudanese refugees, discuss tools like Surveillance Watch, and show how immigrant communities are supporting each other through Respond Crisis Translation.

We end with a creative workshop to remind us that the future is ours to shape.

I am incredibly excited about this event because you will get to hear from truly extraordinary people, from translators working from their destroyed houses in Gaza to support refugees in other countries, to people who learned new languages while being detained by ICE and started supporting their fellow refugees. People are doing incredible power building work.

@s0hw Definitely. This is just the first event. We're sharing work outputs here https://www.dair-institute.org/projects/refugees-migrants-and-ai/ (work in progress) and will more broadly discuss them after the launch.

Refugees, Migrants, and AI

Using the WIRM approach, the Refugees and AI Project centers the lived experiences of refugees and migrants.
