[Network-Centric Resources] A few places left: Facilitating Collective Power in the Age of AI

[Dirk Slater]

Hello Resource Designers,

Quick follow-up in case you missed our earlier email: a few spots remain for our prototype online lab, Facilitating Collective Power in the Age of AI, next week on 20 and 21 October. 

We’ll explore AI as both a threat environment to navigate and a strategic opportunity for collective action — including how facilitators, organisers and activists can use it to support collective power while challenging its concentration in the hands of a few companies.

Hope to see you there,

We’ll explore a question that feels increasingly urgent: how can we use AI to strengthen collective power — while building the collective power needed to challenge the concentration of control behind today’s AI systems?
