Design for inclusive digital futures

Our second winter school offers advanced training modules in design methodologies and social science theory for the anthropological analysis of machine behaviour and the principled design of human-machine relations. The training integrates approaches from design anthropology, artificial intelligence/data engineering, and speculative design to shape inclusive and sustainable digital futures. Due to COVID-related restrictions, the event was held online.
