mediaX Forum on AI for Culturally Relevant Interactions
Further Information

mediaX events address frontier issues on which insights from human sciences and information technologies – across many disciplines and sectors – can inform the questions framed for future research. We draw on the research experiences of academic and industry researchers to examine previous research results, in the light of current challenges.

Brain snacks and deep dives provoke integrative thinking of mediaX members and participants. Further information on chosen topics can inspire thoughtful consideration for conversations with colleagues.
