Dear All, On 16th June 2026, we hosted Prof. Paola Ricaurte (Moneterrey) and Prof. Nick Couldry (LSE) for the AI Futures keynote. Their keynote challenged the prevailing idea that AI is inevitable and that spaces for alternative ways of thinking, designing and developing our futures in the world of AI are shrinking. We are making the recording of this event available for everyone: https://planetaryai.net/ai-futures-keynote-16th-june-2026/ Recordings from previous events at the Planetary AI network are available on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@PlanetaryAI-uoe Looking forward to hearing your views and if anyone would be interested to learn more about our project and get involved in our activities, please do reach out.
