In this workshop, we will explore how spelling mistakes, translations, and other linguistic errors can reveal hidden social biases within generative AI systems. We will begin with a bit of theory to understand how these biases are formed, followed by a practical session where we will use open-source tools to identify them. Finally, we’ll reflect on how language can mirror societal inequalities and the role technology plays in this dynamic.

WordPress block themes have reached 1,000! This new trend allows for easy website customization, taking full advantage of WordPress's block system without the need for visual builders or external tools. But how are these themes designed? What elements should be considered to create a browsing experience just as you envisioned it?

Are you interested in learning how community telecommunications work? The maintenance team of the experimental network at Canòdrom invites you to an open session to discover firsthand how we use, expand, and manage this network. We will share what we have achieved so far, what we are currently working on, and what lies ahead.

El Canòdrom, Digital and Democratic Innovation Hub of Barcelona, invites you to participate in a special day of training, debate, and music to transform the digital and music ecosystem towards a more inclusive future. The midday session is aimed at women and gender-diverse people in the music industry. In the afternoon, conferences, debates, and concerts open to the public will close the event.

Did you know that not all AI is created by large corporations or relies on extractivist systems? In this session, we will learn about an inspiring project that advocates for autonomous, sovereign AI managed by the communities themselves.

Decidim is a citizen participation platform based on free, secure technology with full democratic guarantees. Its flexibility and impact make it unique, with implementations at both local and global scales, from the City Councils of Barcelona, Helsinki, and Mexico City to initiatives like SomEnergia, LaFede, or FAVB.

Would you like to put it into practice? At the Canòdrom, we are expanding our training offer with a specialization course to deepen knowledge of two key tools of the platform:

On Thursday, January 23, 2025, FemProcomuns is organizing the second hackathon of the BICxO project to explore the use of sensors in sustainable mobility and Internet of Things technologies in future scenarios looking 20 years ahead.

What can these technologies contribute to the ecosocial transition? What ethical risks must be avoided? What material and energy-related factors might hinder or facilitate their use? How can they help raise awareness and improve resource usage?

The research provides an initial analysis of the state of diversity in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) sector in Catalonia, aiming to identify areas where biases affecting equality and non-discrimination may arise.

The process of designing, developing, and implementing artificial intelligence (AI) is deeply influenced by discriminatory dynamics. The cross-sectoral application of these technologies compels us to address the complexity of the phenomenon from a critical and global perspective. Within this framework, the Global Digital Justice project, led by Oxfam Intermón and the Global Justice Directorate of the Barcelona City Council, focuses on the impacts of AI on inequalities.
