Workshop: "Defining the Framework for Epistemic Welfare" (Algepi)

ALGEPI is organising its first annual workshop on the 12th of April 2024 from 10:00h to 13:00h CET to discuss what are the conditions under which the use of algorithms can contribute to, or threaten, epistemic welfare and how can we translate this into actionable parameters or metrics. Join us in the discussion! 
 

Would you like to attend? Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis so please let us know by sending us an email! Registrations will close on the 5th April 2024.

In the meantime, if you would like to learn more, have a look at our concept note dissecting the concept of epistemic welfare!

We look forward to seeing you there.
