Participatory Design Workshops

A collaboration between the AI4ER CDT at Cambridge University, and the Turing Commons project

Illustration of stakeholder engagement.

It’s not every day that you get to sit down on a wintery morning, cup of tea in hand, to help direct the future of an innovative new course to be delivered by the Turing Commons.

My name’s Orlando, and I’m currently a Master of Research (MRes) student with the Artificial Intelligence for Environmental Risk (AI4ER) CDT at the University of Cambridge. Our course aims to harness the increasing availability of large datasets and powerful compute to better understand physical systems in order to inform national and international policy, and make a tangible, positive impact on the environments in which we live.

At LOTI, we’ve identified resident engagement as one of the key capabilities for councils to become more responsible innovators and ethical users of data, and given my other area of work on innovative participation methods, I was excited to attend the second weekend meeting of this Panel, and blog about my impressions.
