The aim of this workshop was to enable critical discussion on AI futures using fictional news articles and discussion groups. By collaboratively imagining and presenting future scenarios in a journalistic news article format, participants explored the socio-political, ethical and sustainability factors of AI through an accessible narrative form. Participants engaged in further anticipatory work by analyzing the issues raised by the articles in a group discussion, emphasizing the underlying motivations, assumptions and expectations conveyed within the news articles.
