The conference will bring together faculty members, PhD students and research MA students conducting critical research to examine AI’s potential in advancing social justice and inclusion, as well as its capacity for social control and marginalization. We are particularly interested in theoretical and empirical contributions that explore both current practices and the technological hype around:

• The role of AI in (re)shaping public policy, governance decision-making practices, and democratic oversight.
• The role of AI in empowering or suppressing political participation, citizen activism and social movements.

Join us for an exciting two-day event that will include keynote lectures, panel discussions, and a practitioner-scholar roundtable. Discussions will focus on best practices for AI-driven progressive social change, as well as the challenges of implementing AI technologies in efforts to promote such change. 

Submission deadline: 15 January 2025
