SUMMARY:Data Horror Stories!
DESCRIPTION:Toy Story 2’s production famously lost a couple of months’ work due to an accidental and erroneous command being executed. \nIn 1999\, the Mars Orbiter Climate spacecraft crashed because engineers used computer software which produced output in non-SI units of pound-force seconds (lbf·s) instead of the SI units of newton-seconds \nAnd virtually every day we hear of data that has been breached\, lost or just collected badly. \nData Horror Stories is a night for sharing YOUR scary data-based tales among a group who share your pain. \nWe have a number of five-minute slots available\, so if you have a story or cautionary tale that you’d like to share\, drop an email to sam[at]opendatamanchester.org.uk. \nThere’ll also be some quick-fire slots on the night. \nJoin us for a night of data-based cautionary tales and share your stories and experiences. \n––– \nSchedule \n6.00 – Doors\, refreshments\, etc. \n6.30 – Event starts. \n8.30 – Close. \nCode of conduct \nEveryone is welcome at Open Data Manchester events. Please take a minute to read our code of conduct. \nRefreshments \nWe will provide refreshments \nGetting here \nHeron House is on Lloyd Street opposite Manchester Town Hall. \nAccessibility \nThere is one step from the pavement to the entrance to the building.

SUMMARY:Putting people first in AI - (people inside the public sector) - in-person workshop
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThis 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. \nThis 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. \nUltimately we will bring together both groups to develop a shared set of principles. \nYou can sign up for the workshop here. \nYou can find out more about the project and find other workshops in the series here. \nWe look forward to seeing you at one of the workshops.

SUMMARY:Putting people first in AI - what we've learnt
DESCRIPTION: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. \nAt 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. \nWe also hope to bring together some other speakers who will share examples of similar work done elsewhere. \nWe will finish by collectively discussing how to encourage uptake of these principles and make them something sustainble. \nAnyone interested in this topic is very welcome. \nYou can sign up here: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/opendatamanchestercic/1108980
