AI, Cryptocurrency and the Third Sector

About AI, Cryptocurrency and the Third Sector

Our fourth and final event in The Melting Pot's AI & Social Innovation series will be a roundtable and workshop presenting experiences of third-sector organisations using cryptocurrency as an instrument for change, and also sharing how the use of AI tools is reshaping their work.

More specifically, we'll learn about Scotcoin, a "cryptocurrency for good" created in Scotland, and explore innovative basic income programmes using digital currencies.

In the last part of the session, and as a final point for the series, the attendees will have the chance to participate in a workshop on gender bias in AI.

Agenda:

17:30 Welcome, networking and coffee time

17:45 Presentation, workshop and discussion

19:15 Gender Bias in AI Workshop

20:15 Close

Speakers:

Temple Melville (CEO at The Scotcoin Project CIC). Temple is a multi-sector businessman and a London School of Economics graduate. He has written a book on Blockchain titled ‘Blockchain, Bitcoin And You' and was an early adopter of Bitcoin. He came to Scotcoin during 2014 and is a strong advocate both of the blockchain, decentralised currencies and for regulation for cryptocurrencies.

Cleo Goodman (The Autonomy Institute). Cleo is The Autonomy Institute's basic income lead and runs their Basic Income Conversation project. She co-founded the Basic Income Conversation in 2019 and has facilitated hundreds of conversations with people across the UK – communities, politicians, policy makers and academics – with the goal of securing a basic income for all.

Note : We know £8 might be a bit of a surprise to attend an event, but there’s a social innovation purpose to this price.

Your ticket price, as well as any coworking membership or venue hire request, enables us to do that.
