AI for Institutions, Oxford 2023

 
Some of the participants of the first AI for Institutions Workshop in Oxford
 

About

The Collective Intelligence Project and the Cooperative AI Foundation convened around 25 participants from around the world, from institutions like Google DeepMind, Demos, Harvard, MIT, NESTA, OpenAI, Protocol Labs and UCL in a beautiful Oxford venue for two days of participant driven presentations and discussion.

Participants submitted ideas in advance, which the organisers clustered into themes (Composition, Information, Representation, Simulation, Delegation, and Support). Theme by theme, everyone gave a lightning talk on their idea. Then, we broke into small groups to work on specific ideas, which we “peer reviewed” with each other at the end. Many of the Project Card ideas came from lightning talks and/or the small group work we did. There were plenty more ideas and questions than participants’ capacity to follow through on them!
