AI is moving fast.

Sceptical? Unsure? Using it anyway?

Let’s talk.

AI chatbots are everywhere now - changing how we work, learn, and communicate. Big Tech is racing ahead to build the digital future, but are they building a world that actually works for our communities? And what is it costing our planet’s resources?

Join University of Gloucestershire's Ecophora project for a friendly, interactive afternoon. Share your thoughts, challenge the narrative, and help us design a fairer digital future.

• If you use AI every day: Come tell us how it fits into your life.
• If you worry about its footprint or fairness: We need your perspective.
• If you think it's all just a (marketing) hype: Come challenge the room.

You don’t need to be a tech expert to notice that something is shifting. We want to move past the hype and have an honest conversation about what AI takes from our world, and what it actually gives back. It’s an open space to question, chat, and challenge the tools shaping our lives.

No lectures. No technical jargon. Just real conversation.

Free Tea, Coffee, and Cake. If you attend the workshop and complete the follow up questionnaire you will also be offered a £10 voucher.

Note: This is an independent event hosted and organised by the University of Gloucestershire's Ecophora team.
