Engaging people on data and AI: An unconference on giving people and communities a powerful say on public sector technologies

Unconferences are participant-driven meetups that focus on sharing, learning and community building.

This unconference was for people (particularly inside the public sector) who are interested in ensuring that public, community and worker voices are heard in decisions about data, digital and AI.

The write up from the day is available here.

We were proud to partner with dxw and Projects by IF and Ada Lovelace Institute in the delivery of this event, as well as receiving a UKGovCamp grant.

This event formed part of Connected by Data’s project supported by the Mohn Westlake Foundation, Giving communities a powerful say in public sector data and AI projects, and builds on our convening to date, including our design labs on procurement in Wales (with TUC Cymru) and the National Data Library (with DSIT), and our community of practice.
