Business Information/ EU's AI Act, Reflection on FuturesThe EU’s AI Act Proposal: From framework to practical applicationchiara.ullstein@tum.de1) YES AND I would be interested in being part of a founding structureWorking with students at the intersection of politics and informatics, I believe futuring methods are highly relevant for them to learn how to responsibly develop and/or regulate tools that will heavily influence our societies. Also, these tools are deployed globally, hence, it is essential to take global perceptions into account. A subject association could help share best practices, exchange experiences and also cooperate on (teaching) projects.

If technology cannot be used as a tool for improvement, then we as a field as destined to repeat failures of the past. By including perspectives from across the globe, I believe we may be in line to create viable solutions for a future shared in which there is inclusivity, prosperity and equitable outcomes.

Along with a need for exposing and considering the ripple effects and consequences of the futures scenarios and opportunities we create over time.

Design Dialogues - Spatial Provocations Lecture Series		https://www.arts.ac.uk/subjects/architecture-spatial-and-interior-design/postgraduate/ma-interior-and-spatial-design-camberwella.flora@arts.ac.uk1) YES AND I would be interested in being part of a founding structureInterior Design as a discipline has transformed over the last decade but much of the older perceptions remain dominant in both professional, public and academic spheres.
A wider or global academic subject association would help to promote the breadth of the subject and certainly, one hopes, the more provocative and speculative aspects.
In an era of so much critical change and trauma, when even the idea of new buildings is being questioned, our discipline needs to step up into the new realities and be heard.

The students usually ask how to create a livign out of this practice and curious to learn about practitioners in this area. I think fostering connections between education & practitioners could be quite beneficial for the students and for us. In addition to this, I am also interested in research collaborations in terms of co-authoring, funding applications.

The engagement of specualtive practices has the potential to extend beyond disciplinary boundaries with a profound significance, and the networking of a global academic subject association could explore these in a range of different cultural contexts, with a sensitivity that navigates the risks and problematics associated with a potential 'universalising' approach to its deployment.

I would be happy to connect with fellow creative individuals who share an interest in the intersection of art, design, sciences, technology, and education. My focus extends to cross-disciplinary alternative teaching methods, the incorporation of speculativeness as a vital component intersecting art and design methodologies, and the adoption of a non-discriminatory posthuman approach to human creativity in its interplay with ecology and identities.
