Participatory practice seeks to ensure that the development and governance of AI is shaped by diverse voices, including from marginalised and underrepresented communities. This can challenge traditional, top-down and expert-driven approaches to AI governance, and raises important questions about power, agency, representation and accountability.
Amid a potential “participatory turn” in both the development and governance of AI we need to critically explore what participatory AI looks like, how and why to do it, as well as what can go wrong.
On the eve of the Paris Artificial Intelligence Action Summit this second part (see part 1 online) of the Participatory AI Research & Practice Symposium will feature presentations and workshops exploring questions of participatory AI development, governance and resistance, and will provide an opportunity to think critically about the future of participatory AI practice.
