Dear Fellow Researchers, We would like to invite anyone attending AoIR 2023 and interested in the topic of public interest tech/AI to a transatlantic networking event that we will be hosting (as a pre-conference workshop) on October 18th. We—the research group on public interest AI at the Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society in Berlin <https://www.hiig.de/en/project/public-interest-ai/>—have been focused on ways to develop and implement AI in order to serve the public interest. We have also been seeing an increase in the number of projects that aim to do just this. However, many researchers working on this topic don’t know each other or these other projects yet. Therefore we are inviting you to our workshop and networking event. You are free to join both parts or just join for the networking session, which will be the second half of our workshop. When: October 18th, 8:30am, *networking event starts at 10:30 am* Location: Howard Gittis Student Center HGSC 200B *Agenda: *8:30 -10:00 4 presentations of submitted papers 10:00-10:30 coffee break 10:30-12:00 networking event for public interest tech/AI projects & research You don’t need to prepare, and can just come along.
