AI & Safety: a Workshop & Fireside Conversation
Pixels & People & Impact Hub present ~ AI, Privacy & Safety: a workshop & fireside conversation
AI tools are now part of how we work, write and create. But where does our data go, and who's keeping these systems in check?
Join us for an intimate evening at Impact Hub Penha. We'll start with a hands-on privacy workshop, then open a fireside conversation with people working on AI risk, governance, and human-AI relationships. Focusing on topics such as: what's actually happening with your data, what the EU AI Act does (and doesn't) cover, and why researchers think this technology is different from anything we've built before. No technical background needed.
What to expect
A hands-on workshop on how to protect your data in the age of AI with Emma G. Möller
A fireside chat, from your data and privacy to the bigger picture: loss of control, misuse, and power concentration
Your questions on stage: Part of the conversation is built from what you send us when you register.
Relaxed networking to close the evening.
