In mid October, Homo Digitalis had the great honor of taking part in an expert workshop that took place at the Weizenbaum Institute, contributing to an exciting initiative on participatory and community-oriented hashtag#AIauditing.
Researchers Goda Klumbytė (University of Kassel) and David Hartmann (Technische Universität Berlin) conducted stakeholder interviews and a co-design workshop to collaboratively develop a toolkit that supports civil society organisations in understanding and auditing AI/GenAI systems more effectively.
Our team presented our methodology for investigating the lack of legal compliance in AI and GenAI systems, showcasing key successes from our national-level legal battles.
We also discussed our ongoing initiative to co-create a network of civil society organisations in Greece, uniting expertise and resources to build trust and collaborate in pushing back against intrusive GenAI tools. Maria Mouchika and Eleftherios Chelioudakis represented Homo Digitalis at this event.
We extend our warm thanks to the organisers for their kind invitation and for fostering a collaborative environment in academia where civil society voices help shape meaningful AI accountability practices.
