An evening of performance and conversation to celebrate the launch of our latest project, Constant Washing Machine.
Join key researchers and policy makers to experience the work and discuss the practical application and implementation of responsible AI practice and process.
Constant Washing Machine invites people who use and work with AI to connect the good habits of everyday washing to ‘Responsible AI’ practice. Commissioned by ODI Data as Culture as part of the University of Sheffield’s cross-sector research project ‘FRAIM: Framing Responsible AI Implementation & Management’, the project proposes the simple human activity of washing and soap as a metaphor for the habit of everyday good practice in responsible use of AI (RAI).
