On February 12, we launched the Responsible AI Practice Community for Cooperatives, a dynamic information session that brought together members from various cooperatives. They all shared a common commitment: to explore the ethical and inclusive use of artificial intelligence while staying true to cooperative values.
A Space for Sharing and Collaborative Learning
This community aims to provide a space where cooperatives can exchange ideas, learn, and collaborate on the challenges and opportunities presented by AI. During our first meeting, David Beauchemin, General Director of Baseline, and Boveda Kolen, Community Lead, explained how the community operates, the upcoming resources, and the dedicated Moodle platform for these discussions. Participants actively shared their expectations, expressing a keen interest in practical and applicable discussions.
