Design
Five main areas emerged as design elements for moving forward and possible action/activity. It was acknowledged that all five are interconnected, that there are ‘overlaps’ between them, and that Purpose and Values essentially underpins all other areas.
Purpose and Values
- Internal – relate to each other

- Inclusivity – welcome all comers
- Offer AI to the world
- Modelling AI principles
- Promote research
- Sharing AI related stories
- Sharing, developing knowledge and experience
- Harnessing strength, power of numbers –> credibility
One participant from the group discussing ‘purpose and values’ also submitted the notes she had taken. Read them here.
