Together we will

Unpack the Wicked Problems of AI and Policy! Examine real-world AI policy challenges — from policy blind spots, to equity concerns, and enforcement gaps!

Reimagine AI Policy Co-Design. Understand what AI policy means across various domains and contexts, and what considerations are important for democratising policy design for AI!

Build Policy Together Using an AI Policy Co-Design Toolkit! Brainstorm and generate a diverse set of —current and near-future — AI use cases through a thumbnailing exercise! And use an AI Policy framework to assess these use cases — collaboratively designing policy artefacts to address these new and emerging use cases!

Walk away with ideas about how to tackle AI policy challenges, a repository of AI use cases, and a collaborative toolkit that you can use to craft better policies in your field! Whether you are an AI researcher, a policy designer, or simply curious about the intersection of technology and governance — this workshop offers an invaluable opportunity to collaborative, innovate, and together make an impact!
