Story Written in the First Person Perspective
When I first learned about the existential risks posed by AI and its potential impact on our environment, I knew that something had to be done. I reached out to fellow Democratic Socialism activists and together, we conceived the AI Guardians campaign.
The interactive art and workshop series brought together experts in AI, environmental policy, and art to create thought-provoking installations, seminars, and workshops. As participants immersed themselves in the experience, they became deeply engaged in discussions on AI’s potential risks and the importance of responsible development.
The AI Guardians campaign quickly gained traction both online and offline, with attendees sharing their experiences on social media platforms, further raising public awareness. Environmental agencies took notice, and we soon found ourselves partnering with them to advocate for more stringent AI policies.
