How to: AI & Democracy Workshop

Over the last six months we’ve seen a breakthrough in powerful new AI technologies, from Stable Diffusion to ChatGPT. These new tools will undoubtedly impact the work of democracy organisations in all sorts of ways, from automatically drafting text, creating and editing images and video, to analysing data and more. Join us for an exploratory session as we put these new AI tools to the test!

In this workshop, you’ll get hands-on experience with the latest AI technologies and how you might use them in your work to strengthen and build a healthier democracy in the UK. You’ll learn about prompt engineering and how to effectively guide the output of AI tools to get the results you want.

These tools are so new that nobody is really an expert, and you don’t need to be able to code to access them – so whether you’re an organiser, an activist, campaigner or researcher, you’re welcome.

This is a practical online workshop for people working across the democracy sector who are curious about how recent advances in AI tools might affect their work.

This session will be delivered by Hannah O’Rourke, Co-founder of Campaign Lab. Hannah has been working at the intersection of campaigning and technology since 2018.
