DWeb Virtual Meetup: AI: Ethical Paths Forward
September 21 at 10 AM PT
Artificial Intelligence is here, challenging notions of what "openness" and "public" mean in the context of AI.
Join us for a thought-provoking online event where we delve into the future of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its ethical implications. Peter Wang of Anaconda, Josh Tan of Metagov, and Lia Holland of Fight for the Future will share their ideas for paths forward to develop AI for the public good—in service of the people vs. at their expense.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to gain insights, ask questions, and connect with like-minded DWeb members passionate about AI ethics. Mark your calendars and be a part of this thought-provoking virtual meetup hosted by the DWeb community!
WHEN: Thursday, September 21 - 10:00-12:00pm PT, 1-3 ET WHERE: Online - Virtual meetup

DWeb+Coolab Camp Brazil has just finished!
Technology, community, and sharing came together September 7-10. It was hosted by Coletivo Neos, a beautiful space in the Brazilian Atlantic forest dedicated to activities around biodiversity, permaculture, and self-knowledge.
The Camp brought together folks from all parts of the globe to not only talk about software and protocols, but community technologies—how we organize and coordinate with each other, as well. We’ll be sharing more in the coming weeks, but for now, catch a glimpse of the event from this photo collection.
A huge thank you and kudos to the folks from Coolab for all the work and care they put into making this a successful gathering! Questions?
