Community Conversation
Virtual (Zoom) · Details provided upon registration

Join Measure for a powerful virtual conversation exploring The Theory of Interrogative Reasoning, a framework that challenges how we approach artificial intelligence, governance, research, and community-centered decision-making.  This session will bring together diverse perspectives to examine how asking better questions, and centering inquiry, can reshape systems, disrupt traditional power structures, and lead to more equitable and responsible outcomes in AI and beyond.  Through this engaging presentation and dialogue, participants will be invited to think critically about the role of interrogation in shaping ethical technology and community-driven solutions. What to expect: a thought-provoking presentation on the Theory of Interrogative Reasoning, a dynamic conversation bridging research, technology, and community practice, and opportunities for reflection and engagement with leaders across sectors.  This event is designed for researchers and academics; nonprofit leaders and practitioners; technologists and AI professionals; students and emerging leaders; and community organizers and advocates.  Hosted by Measure.
