PAIRS
Participatory AI Research and Practice Symposium
We co-organised the first Participatory AI Research and Practice Symposium at the AI Action Summit in Paris in 2025 as a space to bring together researcher, practitioners, policy makers, activists and industry to share learning on embedding participatory approaches to AI development, governance and resistance.
Over the coming year we will be dedicating time to the next edition of PAIRS, and to developing PAIRSx events that look at participatory AI in different thematic communities.

Opinion
From 6-10 July 2026 we were part of a team running a Public AI Voice and Engagement (PAVE) Booth at the AI For Good Global Summit Expo in Geneva, Switzerland. The Booth had been pulled together by a coalition of not-for-profit, research, and civil society organisations seeking an opportunity to promote (among the AI hype that otherwise pervaded the Expo) including public voice in decisions around AI.
