This initiative, in partnership with Sciences Po, Conseil national du numérique, Make.org, the AI & Society Institute, and the French Presidency, aims to gather insights from citizens, academics, and civil society on how AI can serve the public interest. A participatory consultation like this is crucial because it allows diverse voices to help shape the governance of AI, ensuring that policies are inclusive and grounded in the public good. As AI continues to affect many aspects of our world—from jobs to culture to societal risks—it is more important than ever to act in the public interest. Your voice matters. Participate in the consultation and help shape the future of AI governance! ➡️ Read more about the consultation: https://lnkd.in/dm3f8Yzy.
