This seminar explores how artificial intelligence is shaping power – and vice versa. We will discuss key challenges such as disinformation, power imbalances, declining trust in institutions, and the economic, environmental, and security risks of AI as a global socio-technical system. Using creative methods like mapping or data walks, participants will strengthen their AI literacy and imagine what a more democratic AI future could look like.
