Kun je nog weten wat betrouwbaar is in tijden van generatieve AI en deepfakes?
Deze Nederlandstalige lezing is bedoeld voor iedereen die meer wil weten over de risico’s van deepfakes (denk aan stemklonen, plaatjes en chatgpt).
Wat is de globale werking, waar kom je het tegen, wanneer moet je extra voorzichtig zijn en wat kun je doen om jezelf te beschermen en manipulaties te doorzien.
Join us for the workshop: Civic Sousveillance & Democratic Oversight of Sensor Technology.
In this interactive workshop, we explore democratic oversight of camera detection and other urban sensors: from citizen initiatives such as the On Camera pocket guide and smart city camera-spotting tours to current policies on data collection in public space.
With contributions by Tom van Arman & Mike de Kreek from the Human Values for Smarter Cities research project, Inge Janse & Arthur De Jaeger from Centre for BOLD Cities, and council member Elisabeth IJmker from GroenLinks-PvdA. Next to talks we will also go outside for a joint camera-spotting tour around Arcam.

@nicholasbeen Heb je dit artikel al gezien? @Herman, onze collega Nicholas doet op dit moment een onderzoek naar succescriteria bij bewonersinitiatieven in Amsterdam. Binnenkort ook blogs van hem!
