Artificial intelligence & society

The lab · The Digital Palaver

The Digital Palaver questions artificial intelligence with the tools of the traditional palaver: machine memory, the future of rural life, education, digital sovereignty, cultural and linguistic bias, the future of work, the preservation of endangered languages and the ethics of automated decisions.

YouthShare reserves the right to close this listing before that date, as soon as the right person is found. We therefore encourage you to apply now.

The one-year commitment

A non-profit project is built over time. Every volunteer therefore commits for at least one year: time to settle in, carry the assignment through and pass on what they have learned. The weekly time depends on the role and is shown on each role page.
