SUMMARY:OSPOs for Good 2024
DESCRIPTION:The second edition of the OSPOs for Good symposium is set to be a multi-day conference held on 9th and 10th July 2024\, with a richer global presence of diverse open source thinkers\, with bigger ambitions and strides for championing OSPOs as a global network for good. \nBy building on the success of last year’s event\, the goal of the 2024 conference is to be ‘bigger and better’ in every way. This action symposium aims to serve as a high-level coming out party for open source in the UN system\, delivering high-level thematic tracks that address key areas of open source policy\, as well as highlighting emerging examples of ‘open source for good’ from across the globe. It will prominently highlight the theme of ‘open source networks as enablers of global cooperation’. \nWhile the 2024 conference will of course focus on the role of Open Source Programme Offices (OSPOs) like last year’s event\, this conference will expand the scope to focus on how the conversation around OSPOs are enabling new forms of global cooperation around open source for good in countries.

SUMMARY:Book launch: ‘The Atomic Human - understanding ourselves in the age of AI’
DESCRIPTION:Book launch: ‘The Atomic Human – understanding ourselves in the age of AI’\n\nThe Centre for data Futures celebrates the publication of ‘The Atomic Human’ by Professor Neil Lawrence with a cross-disciplinary conversation. \nProfessor Sylvie Delacroix\, Director of the Centre for Data Futures\, will host a conversation with Neil about The Atomic Human\, whose publication comes at a pivotal point in the so-called ‘AI revolution’. What does it take for us to not only choose but carve out a future where ‘AI is a tool for us’? Who does the ‘us’ stand for? Does the fact that this revolution is powered by a resource -data- that largely comes from us change anything? \nExtract from The Atomic Human’s synopsis: \n‘‘By contrasting our capabilities with machine intelligence\, The Atomic Human reveals the technical origins\, capabilities and limitations of AI systems\, and how they should be wielded. Not just by the experts\, but ordinary people. Understanding this will enable readers to choose the future we want – either one where AI is a tool for us\, or where we become a tool of AI’ \n\n \n\n\nSchedule: \n19:00: A conversation with Neil Lawrence including a Q&A \n20:00: Drinks Reception
