I’m passing along details for the Knowledge Futures Symposium, focusing on knowledge equity, knowledge security, and digital and AI ethics, to take place online and at the University of Leeds. The program looks wonderful with a great speaker line-up; last year’s inaugural event was very well-received and generated a lot of follow-up discussion. See below for more information, including a link for registration, which appears to be free.
