Exploring AI’s Role in Collaboration: Interactive Workshop | online

Organised by the Transformations Community
Can AI Build Trust and Hold Space? | Interactive Workshop
17 June 2025, 16:00 - 17:30 CEST
Join us for this Transformations Communnity workshop to discuss the use of transformative AI tools. As artificial intelligence rapidly integrates into our tools and workflows, a fundamental shift is underway. AI is no longer confined to analysis or automation—it’s entering the spaces where humans come together to reflect, deliberate, and make meaning.
How will this affect the way we work toward sustainability, equity, and transformative change? What happens when AI starts shaping the conversations that shape our futures?
We invite you to an experimental session that brings these questions into practice. Together, we’ll engage with Harmonica, a novel generative AI tool designed to support collaborative dialogue. Unlike traditional AI applications, Harmonica doesn’t just answer—it listens, prompts, and synthesizes in real time, acting as a conversational facilitator.
Why Attend?
-
Engage in Real-Time Experimentation
Experience firsthand how generative AI can participate in collective sensemaking. You’ll be invited to contribute inputs and observe how the AI reflects and reconfigures group insights. -
Interrogate the Implications
Join a critical dialogue with long-time practitioners and thinkers—Silva Ferretti, Scott Chaplowe, and Harmonica’s creator Artem Zhiganov—as we examine the ethical and strategic questions AI raises for participatory processes. -
Shape an Emerging Conversation
This is more than a demonstration—it’s a live inquiry into the future of collaboration, knowledge production, and decision-making in fields where trust, dialogue, and inclusivity are essential.
Whether you’re a researcher, practitioner, policy advisor, or systems thinker, this session offers a chance to reflect on how AI might disrupt—or enhance—your work.
