On 10 December 2024, the ‘AI and ethics in practice’ learning community of the Knowledge Centre Data & Society came together at FARI - AI for the Common Good Institute to discuss best practices for sustainable GenAI.

In this report of the last meet-up of the learning community 'AI and ethics in practice', we talk about the best practices and challenges of GenAI governance.

We spoke briefly with Bram about his experiences with the learning community so far.

Vision documents, list of principles, ethical frameworks … A lot of us are contributing to these documents, but what purposes do they serve? Is it essential to create them, and are they worth the effort? How can we translate these theoretical constructs into actionable steps? These questions took centre stage during the learning community ‘AI and ethics in practice’ meet-up on February 20, 2024.

In late 2022, we launched the Learning Community ‘AI and ethics in practice’. Now, after more than a year, we are excited to announce another learning community in collaboration with the Vlaamse Vereniging voor Steden en Gemeenten (VVSG) and VLAIO.
