Speculating Narratives on Futures of AI Wellness

In the workshop we will dive into the future and imagine how futures of AI Wellness can look like. The future is not written yet, therefore, everything is possible. We invite everyone, with and without prior knowledge, to join the workshop. The workshop will benefit from the junction of community knowledge, expert knowledge and personal preferences. Many narratives on AI describe omnipotent systems, in which one or few actors obtain complete power. In the workshop, we will speculate a counter-narrative with AI Wellness being the central theme. The workshop will be held by the research collective perfectfuturedesign. We’ve developed a framework for collaborative speculative design - a method for deliberating on topics as a group - and are currently hosting the DesignXDiscourse series. The narrative(s) created during the workshop will be visualized and published online (perfectfuturedesign.com/results) after the workshop.
