​What if we had more say in the AI future taking shape around us?

​AI is changing the world around us.

​At work, in public services, in our economies, in the infrastructure underneath our cities.

​There are plenty of conversations about how to adapt. Fewer about what we might actually want. And fewer still about how we might figure that out together.

​Prometheus Protocol is a playful, participatory rehearsal for exploring that question.

​Instead of listening to experts, debating positions or trying to predict what comes next, we'll step into a possible situation, take on different perspectives, make choices, encounter dilemmas and see what the experience reveals.

​It's not a workshop about AI, but a chance to experience a complex question from the inside, with other people.

​For this Brussels rehearsal

​We'll enter a possible near-future situation:

​Imagine Brussels has resources and influence to shape the kind of AI economy that develops in the city.

​What would you invest in?
What would you refuse?
Who should own the infrastructure?
Who should benefit?
And who gets to decide?

​You don't need to be an AI expert.

​This is for people who are curious, concerned or already working around questions of democracy, community power, technology, new economies, philanthropy, public institutions, activism or place-based change.

​Or you might simply be curious about what's taking shape.

​Bring a question, a concern, an interest in your city, or simply a willingness to step into the situation for a while.

​We don't know exactly what the rehearsal will reveal. That's part of the experiment.
