About the Event
Join us for a critical conversation on AI’s role in shaping evidence, power, and knowledge creation. As AI institutionalizes, how do we keep discussions open and inclusive? Can AI avoid accelerating extractive practices, or can it empower co-ownership and grassroots learning? We’ll explore:
• Democratizing AI conversations—beyond specialists
• Positionality & ethics—preventing “extraction at scale”
• Reimagining rigor—challenging who defines evidence and for whom
AI isn’t just a tool; it’s reshaping power dynamics in evaluation. Let’s question the status quo and envision alternatives—together.
Open space for dialogue, not answers. All voices welcome.
