Algorithmic systems are becoming increasingly prevalent and powerful in society. Where robots and technologies employing AI were once relegated to research labs and factory floors, they are now appearing in diverse business, social, and environmental settings. This has evoked a range of policy challenges around inequities, privacy and security.
The School of Cybernetics is participating in a two-year Erasmus+ Jean Monnet grant to run the Algorithmic Futures Policy Lab (AFPL). This project aims to catalyse the work needed to successfully design technology and policy for an uncertain future. Lab participants will explore what responsible algorithmic development and policy-making might look like in light of future global socio-economic and environmental uncertainties, with a specific focus on relevant upcoming governance challenges and opportunities in the European Union and Australia.
