Co-developing a responsible AI framework: a working session for civil society organisations

​Civil society and community organisations are being asked to make decisions about technology faster than most of us feel ready to make them.

​We are weighing up tools whose risks we do not fully understand, developed in ways that don't align to our values, while the same technologies are being used in ways that affect the communities we serve, the people who trust us with their information, and the work we do. Most individual decisions, anchored in principles of resisting, refusing, reclaiming and reimagining AI, don't easily translate into organisational settings where risks and opportunities are shared.

​In this session, participants map the risks of using AI inside their own work and the risks of AI being used against them and the communities they serve. What the room produces becomes the raw material for an open framework, co-developed with a working group drawn from participants and published with named co-authors.

​Part of the programme “A Day of Countering AI Inevitability: Reimagining and Reclaiming AI” at King’s College London on 8th July.
