SURVEY: FORSEE Research Project Seeking Civil Society Organisation views on AI The EU-funded FORSEE project is seeking to better understand how AI systems can affect people differently - especially #women, #LGBTQ+ individuals, and other gender-vulnerable groups. Our mission is to analyse existing successful #AI applications to: - Strategically enhance the capabilities of the #EuropeanAI industry, policymakers and the public. - Address the future risks and opportunities of AI - Help Europe retain a leading position in the AI landscape. We’re inviting Civil Society Organisation workers and members to take part in this short 5–10 minute anonymous survey exploring awareness of these issues.
