Post-Prediction Un-Conference

Post-Prediction Un-Conference is community-organised unconference focused on the present and future impacts of AI.

Machine learning is becoming evermore capable at predicting our futures. This ability is being used to alter our actions and behavior. As the machine learning and AI community, how will we respond?

This event is about understanding and exploring how we will design and direct AI in this new world; a world where prediction is arbitrarily good — the "post-prediction" world.

We're interested in building a community around understand how we should design AI systems that integrate well with our human, environmental, social and cultural practices.

There will be three rooms. The event is a semi-organised unconference.

The format will be:

    9:30am  - 10am    - Everyone together; propose sessions.
    10am    - 12:30pm - Sessions

    12:30pm - 1pm     - Lunch (BYO)

    1pm     - 1:30pm  - Everyone together; propose sessions.
    1:30pm  - 3pm     - Sessions

    3pm     - 3:30pm  - Break

    3:30pm  - 4pm     - Everyone together; propose sessions.
    4pm     - 6pm     - Sessions
    6pm     - 6:30pm  - Everyone together; close.
  

The nature of the sessions is determined by those attending the unconference, however, we're interested broadly in the fields of machine learning, artificial intelligence, deep learning, and related fields, but with a particular focus on:

• Empathy and ethics, bias and fairness,
• Projects for social good,
• Creative applications,
• Inclusion and community-building,
• Teaching and education,
• Journalism and story-telling,
• Privacy and security,
• Sustainability,
• Data governance,
• Human-in-the-loop systems,
• The UI the experience of AI.
