About AI, Cryptocurrency and the Third Sector
Our fourth and final event in The Melting Pot's AI & Social Innovation series will be a roundtable and workshop presenting experiences of third-sector organisations using cryptocurrency as an instrument for change, and also sharing how the use of AI tools is reshaping their work.
More specifically, we'll learn about Scotcoin, a "cryptocurrency for good" created in Scotland, and explore innovative basic income programmes using digital currencies.
In the last part of the session, and as a final point for the series, the attendees will have the chance to participate in a workshop on gender bias in AI.
Agenda:
17:30 Welcome, networking and coffee time
17:45 Presentation, workshop and discussion
19:15 Gender Bias in AI Workshop
