Next 31 May, will be held the seminar entitled ‘What If AI was used to promote active citizenship?’. The event, organised by the Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, will focus on the link between AI, digitalisation and citizenship processes.
During the event, Filippo Bignami, senior researcher at the Competence Centre for Labour, Welfare and Social Research (CLWS) of SUPSI - LUCI Area, will also speak.

The seminar is part of a series entitled ‘WHAT IF? Artificial Intelligence, Collective Values and Decision-Making Processes’. It is a series of four talks dedicated to exploring the complex and changing relationships between processes of flatness, and in particular Artificial Intelligence (AI), social and political pathways of defining participation and urban decision-making processes. 

The aim of ‘WHAT IF?’ is to push the boundaries of the current superficial understanding of AI, opening up new possibilities and creative solutions, inspiring critical and conscious reflections on the use of AI in decision-making processes for the construction of public policies of urban and territorial regeneration that are more participatory and useful for the community.
What would happen if we adopted an innovative and creative look at AI? What would happen if we juxtaposed the words AI, citizenship, places and decision-making processes? These are the key questions on which the four talks lean, each with a specific disciplinary spectrum.

‘WHAT IF?’ consists of four workshops, in which international experts discuss how AI can support processes of active citizenship and inclusive governance, facilitate the collection and sharing of data to inform participatory and collaborative decision-making processes, generate collective values, redefine the perimeters of urban citizenship and promote the development of political models of deliberative democracy.
