Thanks to everyone who participated!

About

Post-Prediction Un-Conference is community-organised unconference focused on the present and future impacts of AI.

Machine learning is becoming evermore capable at predicting our futures. This ability is being used to alter our actions and behavior. As the machine learning and AI community, how will we respond?

This event is about understanding and exploring how we will design and direct AI in this new world; a world where prediction is arbitrarily good — the "post-prediction" world.

We're interested in building a community around understand how we should design AI systems that integrate well with our human, environmental, social and cultural practices.

We will take notes during the event, and email them to all attendees afterwards.
