style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moderated by Kathy Cramer, University of Wisconsin-Madison & MIT Center for Constructive Communication\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In an era where AI-fueled social media and related technologies are increasingly becoming integral to our daily lives, human connection, dialogue, and listening face new challenges and possibilities. In this workshop, we’ll explore the profound impact of technology on the ways we listen, communicate, and connect with each other. Amidst the complexities of our technology-infused reality, there’s an urgent need to rethink how we engage in dialogue and practice listening to foster deep and authentic human connections. During the workshop, participants will be invited to share their personal experiences related to trust, connection, and empathy within the context of our tech-driven reality to imagine how social dialogue networks can serve as tools for building bridges rather than barriers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Opportunities and threats to democracy in the age of AI<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moderated by Deb Roy, MIT Center for Constructive Communication<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The potential impact of AI on fundamental aspects of democracy \u2013 self-governance, individual freedom, fairness, and the rule of law \u2013 appears to be a mix of good and bad. AI could be leveraged to assist people in lifting voices, becoming more informed citizens, strengthening communities, and bridging divides. Yet generative AI could also disrupt trustworthy channels for public input to law and policy makers, become a conduit for biases and falsehoods, and erode societal and institutional trust. Join us in exploring the complex interplay of AI and democratic processes as we work to expand our collective imagination of the changes afoot, and identify pathways to encouraging the good and guard against the bad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Youth voices, youth leadership: Bringing young people into decision-making<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moderated by Alex Kelly Berman & Hana Carey, Cortico<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Join us for a dynamic and interactive workshop where we delve into the findings from Opportunity Youth Network\u2019s Youth Policy Advisory Board project, “Youth Speak for Themselves: Revolutionizing the Quality of Education in Newark.” This workshop, led by young leaders from the Youth Policy and Advisory Board, offers a unique opportunity to learn, analyze, and reflect on the insights gathered from their conversations with over 170 young people in Newark, NJ. During the workshop, participants will learn more about the potential impact of youth leadership, and why incorporating youth voice is important. We will also work in small groups, to identify how your own work could incorporate youth voice, and walk away with at least one concrete action step to integrate it into your current or future projects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h4>Session 2<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Tech-enhanced Citizens\u2019 Assemblies: A new paradigm of citizen-led democracy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moderated by Dimitra Dimitrakopoulou, MIT Center for Constructive Communication<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This workshop explores how democracy can be renewed beyond elections with governance innovations that shift <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">who<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has power and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> decisions are taken. One of the most promising ways in which this is happening around the world is through deliberative bodies such as Citizens\u2019 Assemblies. These assemblies bring together diverse and broadly representative groups of people selected by sortition (lottery) for extended periods of time, creating the epistemic conditions to consider complex policy and political issues, and to find high thresholds of common ground on shared recommendations. In this workshop, we\u2019ll explore the potential of Citizens\u2019 Assemblies as defining institutions of a new democratic paradigm, how technology can enhance their quality, trustworthiness, and scalability, the latest trend of institutionalization, and whether a next \u2018deliberative wave\u2019 is one where Citizens\u2019 Assemblies gain decision-making authority.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Truth, trust, and media ecosystems in an AI-driven world<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moderated by Andrew Heyward, MIT Center for Constructive Communication<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you know what to believe when you read or watch the news? American journalism already struggles with a crisis of trust, and the rapid growth of AI is likely to exacerbate the problem. A Gallup poll found last fall that 39% of respondents have no confidence \u2013 \u201cnone at all\u201d \u2013 in the news media. That\u2019s a historic high and a profound threat to a healthy democracy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generative AI\u2019s ability to produce misinformation and disinformation at unheard-of scale, increasingly including audio and video, threatens to shake whatever trust remains in reliable reporting. News organizations and their audiences have a shared interest in understanding AI\u2019s role in a changing media ecosystem: identifying the dangers it poses and harnessing its power to strengthen trust in reliable information rather than shredding confidence altogether.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Join news leaders and experts on AI and the information wars as we explore these issues in an interactive workshop that will not just assess the threat but identify some prospective responses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Workplaces as listening organizations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moderated by Russell Stevens, MIT Center for Constructive Communication<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Join us in exploring the idea of transforming workplaces into environments where active listening is at the core of their culture. We will explore best practices, strategies, and technologies that can help organizations better listen to and engage with their employees, stakeholders, and wider communities. With a mission to become listening organizations, workplaces can foster the power of listening in creating more resilient and connected spaces as well as pave the way for demonstrable listening and responsive decision making. This, in turn, creates a more open, respectful, and supportive work environment, where every voice is heard and valued and organizations become more adaptable, innovative, and, ultimately, more successful in fostering diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div> \n\n <div style=\"width: 100%; height: 60px;\"><\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n \n <\/div> \n\n<\/div> \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div style=\"background-color: #FFFFFF\" id=\"Speakers\" data-acf-block=\"Speakers\">\n\n <div class=\"container-custom-reverse\">\n\n <!-- <hr> element conditional --> \n <hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"> <\/hr>\n \n <div class=\"row\">\n\n <!-- Left title and whitespace --> \n <div class=\"col-lg-4 col-md-6 col-sm-12\"> \n <h4 class=eventopp-block-title >Speakers<\/h4>\n <\/div>\n\n <!-- Right body section --> \n <div class = \"col-lg-6 col-md-6 col-sm-12\">\n <p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6207 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ccc.mit.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/martha-minow-110-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ccc.mit.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/martha-minow-110-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ccc.mit.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/martha-minow-110-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ccc.mit.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/martha-minow-110-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ccc.mit.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/martha-minow-110-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ccc.mit.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/martha-minow-110.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Martha Minow<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Legal scholar Martha Minow is 300th Anniversary University Professor and former dean at the Harvard Law School.
