Building a New Social Web: Protocols, People and the Promise of a Democratized AI-Data Economy
On the sidelines of the India AI Impact Summit
Date and time are still TBC.
Join the Social Web Foundation and Project Liberty Institute, in partnership with Free Our Feeds and the Observer Research Foundation (TBC), for a focused convening on AI and the social web—the emerging ecosystem of social platforms built on open, interoperable protocols (including ActivityPub, AT Protocol, and DSNP).
As AI capabilities accelerate, choices about data governance, identity, moderation, and recommendation systems will determine whether next-generation social infrastructure expands participation and agency—or reproduces platform lock-in and concentrated power.
This session will convene a curated mix of AI researchers, policymakers, standards/protocol implementers, funders, and civil society to identify practical pathways for building rights-respecting, accountable AI in open social systems. Outcomes will include a short post-event brief capturing key insights and next steps for collaboration.
