"Using data for good: opportunities and challenges in the era of AI"
The presentation will address the potential reciprocal benefits and key challenges of integrating data into social innovation practices and vice versa. During the talk, we will address the questions: What could be the benefits of extended data use in social innovation practices? What could be the contribution of social innovation practices to current data practices? To answer these questions, we will leverage recent academic research, emergent trends and practical case studies showing how design practices, value-driven approaches and new organizational forms are enabling the emergence of new data-driven social innovations.
