Dear all,

we are proud to announce the dates and to reveal the programme of our upcoming entirely online conference "Unboxing AI". As you know, the conference was initially scheduled for March 2020, and was disrupted by the Covid-19 health crisis. This event stems from a collaboration between the Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli, INDL (International Network on Digital Labour), ISRF (Independent Social Research Foundation), and NEXA Center for Internet & Society.

DATES AND FORMAT:
"Unboxing AI" will take place on the 5th, 6th, and 7th of November 2020, from 3PM to 7PM (Central European Time). This hours were chosen so to allow the broader international academic community to attend. We encourage you to share this message broadly to colleagues and students in your universities and institutions.

REGISTRATION: 
Registration is compulsory but entirely free of charge. As soon as the Fondazione Feltrinelli will update the web page and the Eventbrite page of the event, we will email the exact URLs.

VIDEOS & PROCEEDINGS: Technically, we will use Zoom. The proceedings of the conference will be published by Feltrinelli Editore as an e-book, and will include summaries and video-recordings of presentations.

We expect a very rich conversation with remarkable speakers, and really hope you will be able to attend "Unboxing AI".

Thank you very much in advance, and hope to hear soon from you.
Antonio
