Here are the descriptions of the sessions:
Session 1 - Understanding AI: Programs, Power, and Global Perspectives (10th of September): We will explore the umbrella term Artificial Intelligence, and its related concepts Machine Learning and Deep Learning by going through the key ideas of machine thinking: data, input, output, rules, predictions, learning, stakeholders and values. We'll touch on AI's practical applications like prompt patterns for different areas of our work and reflect on what (can) be AI for Good, which voices are part of the conversation in the current landscape and what can be strategic ways of interacting with technology.
Session 2 - AI Ethics: Creating Ecosystems of Responsibility (17th of September): This session is designed to discuss and create a shared understanding of the critical intersection of ethics and artificial intelligence, offering insights into the key ethical concepts essential for the responsible development and deployment of AI technologies. Participants will discuss several examples of ethical frameworks, to tackle the real-life ethical dilemmas AI presents.
Session 3 - AI & Communication: Cultivating a Human & Hope-Based Approach (24th of September): On this session we focus on integrating a human-based approach to AI in communication, exploring core values for alignment and accountability through the do-say-mean-show framework. We will navigate the capabilities and limitations of AI, highlighting its optimal uses and areas of caution, particularly for engaging donors and stakeholders effectively.
Session 4 - Using AI: data, data, and more data. What can AI do for us? (1st of October): Effective data practices are crucial for NGOs, involving the collection, storage, analysis, and use of data. AI technologies can enhance these processes, addressing issues like bias and predictive analysis. This session aims to help NGOs integrate AI ethically and affordably, focusing on datafication, data maturity, and critical learning.
Session 5 - Regulating AI: The NGO Guide to the AI Regulatory Landscape (8th of October): With the EU AI Act approved by the EU Parliament on March 13, the world’s first comprehensive legal framework on AI, we are stepping into a new era of regulating AI. In this session, we will use the EU AI Act as a case study to delve into the latest trends and developments in global AI regulation. We'll explore the key provisions of those legislations, dissecting its implications and consequences for NGOs and CSOs.
