Description
Was invited via Sectorplan SSH BreedWe are witnessing an increasing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by organizations and workers alike, with the goal of automating and augmenting tasks and achieving higher levels of productivity and quality. It is crucial to understand how AI can be governed in a responsible and legal way.
The EU AI Act is formally in force as of 1 August 2024, but organizations are still grappling with how best to implement it in practice. The Act mandates that AI literacy among staff to be promoted, but exactly how to achieve this remains an open question. Drawing on our research insights on AI and work, dr. Jana Retkowsky (RSM, Erasmus University) will explain how generative AI enters companies – notably in a bottom-up fashion, differing from the typical top-down deployment of traditional AI systems. Dr. Maarten Renkema (University Twente) will present their hot of the press published educational framework “Het AI-Geletterdheid Onderwijs (AI-GO) Raamwerk”.
After these research perspectives, two organizations will showcase their ongoing AI literacy initiatives. We will include a speaker, Jaqueline Alblas (Gemeente Amsterdam), on AI literacy guidelines and another speaker, Marlies de Boer (RTL Nieuws), on in-house AI trainings. Overall, this panel will provide concrete, actionable insights on how organizations can manage AI literacy which is crucial for safeguarding digital autonomy toward an inclusive digital society.
