Putting people first in AI – what we’ve learnt
March 22 @ 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm GMT
A lunchtime online event to share what we have learnt about giving the public a say in the use of automated decision-making systems. Including launching a new set of principles created in partnership with people across Greater Manchester.
At this event we will share a set of principles for embedding public engagement around the use of automated decision-making systems in Greater Manchester’s public sector. These principles have been crafted based on people’s generous input through workshops held earlier in the year and we will also share what we’ve learnt along the way.
We also hope to bring together some other speakers who will share examples of similar work done elsewhere.
We will finish by collectively discussing how to encourage uptake of these principles and make them something sustainble.
Anyone interested in this topic is very welcome.

How can Greater Manchester ensure that its residents are involved in the design and implementation of AI and automated decision-making? Join us for a two hour workshop to help design a set of public engagement guidelines.
This event is happening as part of a project run in collaboration with Greater Manchester Combined Authority to develop a set of principles for the public engagement around the use of automated decision-making in the Greater Manchester public sector.
This particular workshop is targetted at people working in the public sector, but we are running others targetted towards those outside the public sector. It will be hosted in a central Manchester venue, TBC.
Ultimately we will bring together both groups to develop a shared set of principles.
You can sign up for the workshop here.
You can find out more about the project and find other workshops in the series here.
We look forward to seeing you at one of the workshops.

The Data Cooperative Working Group is an informal, international group of practitioners, researchers and those interested in the development of data cooperatives as a democratic and accountable mechanism to manage people’s data.
Following on from last month’s meeting, we will continue to shape a methodology for building data co-ops, which is being outlined in a new data cooperative handbook.
You can find the Data Cooperative Working Group progress log here.
As ever, we are looking for people to share their experiences with the group, so if you have anything you would like to present, please contact julian@opendatamanchester.org.uk.
Book your free ticket here and we will see you online!
Since October, we’ve been working with Trafford Council and GreaterSport to understand more about the experiences of women and girls living in Trafford – now it’s time celebrate the fantastic work that’s taken place as part of the Right to the Streets project.
Come to Stretford Public Hall to see exhibits showcasing different elements of the work, as well as informative talks, delicious food, and the opportunity to walk and connect with others.
Come and hear about how we can use what we’ve learnt to continue this journey to make our streets and public spaces safe, joyful, and welcoming places for all.
Feel free to drop in throughout the day whenever works for you, it’d be great to see you even for a bit!
How to get here: Stretford Public Hall is accessible by foot, bike, tram and bus. There is also parking available but is limited so we’d encourage you to use more sustainable modes of travel where possible. Find more information on planning your journey here.
Please let us know of any dietary or accessiblity requirements when you sign up.
If you’ve got any questions please contact imogen@greatersport.co.uk.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt unsafe in the streets, parks, or transport in Trafford or anywhere in Greater Manchester? If you want to tackle gendered violence and make our public spaces safer and more welcoming for women, girls, and all residents? If you wish you had more power to change the rules in Trafford and GM?
Part of the Right to the Streets Project with Trafford Council and GreaterSport, this event is being led by a group of north Trafford young people and adults who’ve been building a play that reflects their lived experiences with safety in parks, on public transport, near schools, on the roads, and more. They invite you to join them for a fun and lively Legislative Theatre event – to change the rules together!
What is Legislative Theatre?
In Legislative Theatre, audiences and policymakers watch a play based on the community actors’ experiences with oppressive policies and practices. Then, audiences act onstage to rehearse ways to confront the problems presented, and test new policies in real time. Actors and audiences propose ideas for new laws, rules and policies to address the problems, working together with advocates, organisers, and government representatives. Finally, we vote on new rules, and policymakers commit to immediate actions.
What to expect
This event will appeal to people interested in participatory approaches to making change in their community, and anyone interested in public space and active lives, whether you’re a young person, adult, community advocate, policymaker, or all of the above.
During the Legislative Theatre process, we will #WatchActProposeVote, lasting roughly three hours, but we will give you breaks and promise a tasty meal and dessert to celebrate at the end of the voting!
