Dear all, Hope you're doing well. Please join for the launch of the Favel IA Report Thursday 18 June / 2pm to 4pm (UK) – 10am to 2pm (Brazil) Location – Room TS2 Alexander Building - University of Exeter and ONLINE Register here – https://www.eventbrite.com/e/south-to-north-dialogues-on-ai-launch-of-the-fa... We will share some of the findings of our project, a labour of love and a collective endeavour, drawing from Participatory Action Workshops in Rio. · How are favela communities using AI tools as they also recognise the extent to which vulnerable communities are used in exploitative ways by the tech industry? · And how do these uses emerge in a context marked by contradictions, state violence, inequality, but also creativity and agency? This event marks the launch of the project report in English. This is also an open (multicultural) dialogue between members of the Favela IA collective (project participants) and students at the University of Exeter. It is part of a Global Classrooms initiative. The event will be hybrid and bilingual. Hope to see you there. Many thanks!
