popAI envisages the organisation of Six Stakeholder Policy Labs to facilitate exchange between relevant LEAs and related experts. The goal is to develop ideas for smart policies and test the solutions to identified controversies in experimental models.

Photo competitions have demonstrated to be valuable in raising consciousness about the controversies of AI in policing among citizens whose voices are often missing from such networking endeavours and trajectory setting, recognise the value of community participation, and help create new connections and solidarity as people engage through a format other than words.

Stemming from this consideration, popAI will hold a Student Photo and Caption Competition, in order to bring in the voices of new citizens and increase their awareness and activity in this domain.

Foresight scenario is a key methodology for the policy-making and therefore, of great relevance and importance to popAI’s overall objective, namely, to foster trust in the application of AI in the civil security domain. The foresight scenario methodology serves as a platform for diverse stakeholders to come together and discuss, in a structured way, different and even opposing points of view, thereby assessing needs, preferences, and potential risks.

As Artificial Intelligence is evolving at an incredible speed, offering new opportunities but also creating new challenges, it is of utmost importance to “keep an eye” on the future and the possible implications that the development and use of AI-based technologies could have on the society.
