PD manifesto for AI futures

Published:20 August 2018Publication History

ABSTRACT

A deep discussion and reflection on the implications surrounding the design, development, and deployment of what are being described as artificially intelligent systems is urgent. We propose that within this context, Participatory Design, not only has much to offer, it has a responsibility to deeply engage. This workshop brings together practitioners and researchers from diverse disciplinary backgrounds to discuss and reflect on the cultural, ethical, political, and social implications surrounding the design, development, and deployment of intelligent systems and to explore participatory design approaches, tools, and guidelines that should ground the design of intelligent systems.
