<p><strong>On 29 October, the ELSA Lab AI for Sustainable Food Systems (AI4SFS) at Wageningen University &amp; Research will bring together researchers, policymakers, businesses, and societal stakeholders to celebrate five years of research on the Ethical, Legal and Societal Aspects (ELSA) of AI at WUR.</strong></p><p>As artificial intelligence increasingly shapes our food systems, important questions arise: How can AI contribute to sustainability? How do we ensure innovations are ethical, inclusive, and trustworthy? And who gets to shape the future of AI in agrifood? This event brings together perspectives from across the agrifood ecosystem to reflect on what we have learned over the past five years and to explore what lies ahead.&nbsp;</p><p>Expect an interactive programme with co-creation workshops, keynotes from both research and industry, and stakeholder dialogues. We will share key insights and real-world experiences from ELSA research and discuss both the opportunities and challenges of AI and digitalisation in building sustainable and fair food systems. During interactive workshops, participants will have the opportunity to explore topics such as citizen science, ethics, gender and employment related to of AI in greater depth.&nbsp;</p><h2>A day of reflection and inspiration</h2><p>This event is not only about looking back on five years of research. It is also about looking ahead. Together, we will identify priorities and concrete directions for future ELSA research, innovation and collaboration.</p><h2>For whom?</h2><p>This public event is relevant for researchers, policymakers, businesses, and other stakeholders interested in AI and data-driven technologies for sustainable food systems.</p><h2>Registration &amp; programme</h2><p>For more information and registration, please <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.wur.nl/en/activity/elsa-event-shaping-responsible-ai-agrifood-whats-next ">visit the WUR-website.&nbsp;</a></p><h2>About the ELSA lab</h2><p>The ELSA lab ‘AI for Sustainable Food Systems’ (AI4SFS) at Wageningen University &amp; Research is a knowledge hub where research is conducted for AI applications ‘in the making’. The ELSA lab focuses on the responsible development of AI by helping software and hardware developers to create their AI applications in an ethically, socially, and legally responsible manner. Identifying risks early on helps make better and safer use of the opportunities offered by AI. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://ai4sfs.org/about-ai4sfs">Read more</a>.<br>&nbsp;</p>
