First round of concurrent sessions
Format: Reading Circle (45 min)
Led by Morshed Mannan
Before the conference, we asked participants to suggest works for this session: readings, poems, songs, talks, anything that speaks to Solidarity AI. We received a wide range, listed below. We will spend this time reading, listening, and talking about what these works say to one another and to our questions about AI. You don’t need to finish everything in advance.
