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!

The world needs better tools, minds, and collaborative approaches to tame AI’s wicked problems! Join us to work towards better solutions!
