Who gets to shape AI: the case for arts and culture
Much of AI data is scraped without consent, and a significant portion consists of works of intellectual property and the fruits of cultural production.
This panel on June 5 asks: How do we position the arts, culture, and creative industries equitably at the table where AI is being developed and shaped?
With Ronald Nijboer, Vera van der Burg, Tatenda Tavingey, Matthias Pfeffer and Lucas Evers.
Big tech social media platforms are having an enormous negative impact on European societies. Public opinion is manipulated, political agendas are pushed, and democracies are under attack. This needs to change.
How we can join forces to create a 'European Social Stack'? We discuss it with @bjoernsta @michael and @elena in conversation with @cubicgarden

Meet our keynote speaker for The Next Socials track: Erin Kissane (@kissane.myatproto.social)
A writer and researcher, focused on the way the social internet shapes what we know and how we live together. Her talk digs into the opportunity for builders on the decentralised web, and the damaged cultural substrate we're building on. Expect kelp facts and pragmatic optimism.
