Do you wish to live in a world where everything you do is being monitored by the government like the world described by George Orwell in his novel 1984 or how about be sent to jail before even committing a crime like in the movie and novel Minority Report? I think not then what kind of world do you want to live in? It is a fact that smart technologies are here and governments usage of them is an inevitable future and if we wish for them to use these technologies responsibly then we must first ourselves must know how they should be used. Come be part of a fun virtual session where I will help you reflect a bit on what you desire from your city and in turn, you help me a design master student with his graduation thesis.

Lezing generatieve AI en deepfakes (Dutch)
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.

How can we, as citizens, designers, and policymakers, regain control over the technologies that shape our cities?
Join us for the workshop: Civic Sousveillance & Democratic Oversight of Sensor Technology.

Next to talks we will also go outside for a joint camera-spotting tour around Arcam.
