We’re thrilled to announce a series of scenario workshops that build upon the success of the first FORGING workshop, which was dedicated to exploring the human and societal impacts of Artificial Intelligence.
These upcoming workshops are part of a series of “Scenario Workshops” that will focus on a range of technological frameworks, offering participants the opportunity to delve deeper into the specific challenges and opportunities presented by each one and will be organised in May and June in Belgium.
The primary aim of these workshops is to confront societal futures with possibilities that emerging technologies may enable. Societal confluence will be building narratives of different futures affected by the drivers and trends identified through design research and horizon scanning.
The outcome of the workshop will be a list of emerging societal challenges, risks and opportunities related technologies as well as narratives of alternative futures, used as inspirational probes in the forthcoming co-creation workshops of the FORGING Forum.
Would you like joining the FORGING FORUM? Please let us know which topics are of interest to you and if you would like to participate in any of our upcoming activities. Your input and participation would be greatly appreciated, and we look forward to collaborating with you.
