The AI Risks Fresk

A collaborative workshop built around a deck of cards, to build an overall picture of artificial intelligence — from what it can do to the risks it carries, through to the possible solutions.

Each workshop brings together two to eight participants. They are handed cards standing for key concepts, connect them with arrows and talk them through. Little by little the fresk takes shape: it starts from what AI is and what it can do, passes through current and existential risks, and ends with the solutions.

The workshop needs no prior knowledge. Everything is on the cards: nobody has to be an expert, not even the facilitator. It runs around a table or online, on a shared board. The deck is free, openly licensed and ready to print.
