Decidim Fest 2023

As European cities and institutions increasingly adopt artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, it becomes crucial to ensure transparent and participatory decision-making processes in AI procurement. Decidim offers a powerful solution to facilitate inclusive and collaborative decision-making. This workshop aims to provide participants with hands-on experience and practical insights on leveraging Decidim to streamline and democratize AI procurement processes.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the importance of participatory decision-making in AI procurement
• Learn how to design and implement a Decidim-based workflow for AI procurement
• Gain practical insights from real-world case studies and success stories
• Discuss challenges and best practices for using Decidim in AI procurement

Questions:

• How can procurement innovation serve as an incentive and platform to arrive at clear definitions of AI technologies and related procedures, such as risk assessment and audits, that work across agencies? 
• What are the changes needed in the procurement process to prioritize the public interest, not stakeholder interest?
