Consortium interest form

By filling out this form, you express your interest in taking part in the project “Empowerment of Citizens – Democratizing AI for human flourishing.” The overarching problem is: How can we provide citizens with more insight into the functioning of AI-based systems, as a result of which they are better capable of exerting an influence on the design and use of the systems and can decide for themselves how they deal with these? This problem can be approached from different angles, which we have divided into 6 (preliminary) interrelated work packages (next to work package 1 for the project management). You can view the framework in a PDF file; please make sure to open it in a new tab to avoid leaving the form (Windows: ctrl + click, Mac: Command⌘ + click).

These work packages can be divided into:
