Town Hall Part 2 - Collective Brainstorm
About this Event
No AI Vancouver and SFU Institute for the Humanities is teaming up once again to bring you a continuation of our first town hall. The overwhelming feedback from our event was that attendees wished they had more time to properly meet their neighbours and further exchange ideas after hearing the topics our speakers brought to the evening. We are taking this feedback and bringing you AI Data Centre Town Hall part 2 - Collective Brainstorm.
We want to really give a chance to the community to voice their opinions and concerns and collectively imagine solutions together. This will take form in having our attendees gather in groups - think large note pads, sticky notes, sharpies - so we can really see the ideas flowing in the room big on paper.
Rounds of discussions guided by facilitators from No AI Vancouver and Simon Fraser University will help get to the heart of what everyone's focus, desires, and concerns are around the question of AI data centers in our city. The conversations that come out of this event will also help guide our understanding of how we can be advocating for our community.
So please come, bring your thoughts and be ready to share and listen.
Light snacks and beverages will be on site for the taking or by donation.v
