To conceptualize the best manifestation of AI, we must offer the best of human governance by elevating the best of our collective intelligence. Imagine Habermasian Discourse Ethics guiding the most difficult questions of AI Governance and decision-making? This session will explore the vision, tactics and results of the recently-concluded Global Citizen’s Dialogue on the Future of the Internet, We, the Internet (WTI). Since its inception in 2018, WTI has organized national deliberations in 77 countries, activating the collective insights of over 5000 citizens. Our overarching goal is to test, improve and institutionalize AI governance with and for citizens. We will open the session with reflections on the results of the 2020 global dialogue with the country leads for Argentina, Malaysia, India, Philippines, Rwanda and Timor Leste followed by an invitation to co-imagine the future of AI Governance. More details can be realised here : https://wetheinternet.org/
The findings will be consolidated into a collaborative draft, which will eventually lead to the publication of a policy brief on AI being covered by Collective Intelligence. With the coalition of partners (Missions Publiques, i4Policy, The IO Foundation, YCIG, Youth SIG, studio intO, Global Shapers Community) we aim to co-create the following :
(1) Drafting a People Impact Index report based on the recommendations given by the community. This will be later realised as blog posts and publications
(2)Highlighting best practices for governments, private sector and technical community to enable and develop AI applications designed towards fair and responsible AI to fight the climate crisis
(3)To foster ideas around development of new applications; the vital contributions of developers, activists, artists and civil society to this scenario, and the role of national AI strategies in enabling the development of AI applications to combat climate change and sustainability
We'll organize a fish bowl style discussion to remove the barriers between participants and panellists. We'll start of the session with an introduction and shared presentation of the global results and global vision (each panellist sharing in turns the results and their observations), and we'll then invite participants to join the panel.
If we have 20+ participants then we'll open up into breakout rooms (with options for different language groups) after 40 minutes.
If we have a smaller group, then we'll keep the discussion going.
We're hoping that many efforts and discussions will continue after Mozfest. Share any ideas you already have for how to continue the work from your session.:The organizations involved (Missions Publiques, i4Policy, The IO Foundation, YCIG, Youth SIG, studio intO, Global Shapers Community…) intend to further expand the collective WTI project, and will jointly publish a policy brief to continue the conversation on Artificial Intelligence being governed by Collective Intelligence:
1) Publish a blog with key outcomes and collect testimonials from participants.
2) Encourage a secure form of communication while building the community platform
3) Launch a campaign with key findings of AI recommendations by using different modes of multimedia (Pills,Memes, GIPHYS)
4) Integrate the policy briefing into future We, the Internet global deliberations
