We rely on models to predict the future, to show us the outcomes of various scenarios. The problem is that when researchers create models, they have to set parameters. Almost immediately this introduces bias into the models. To avoid this researchers need to open the Pandora's box and share the thinking behind their models so that stakeholders can participate in the process from start to finish. Ethical modelling is key to creating inclusive and just methods that serve those the models are designed to help. Not just today, but also for future generations.

EU-funded projects 👉 https://euhybnet.eu/ and 👉 https://aligner-h2020.eu/ will then share their insights on "The Future of Criminal and Legal Activities" in another insightful roundtable. This will be followed by a dynamic and interactive open discussion. Among the issues open for discussion with the workshop participants are: ➡ How to align the speed of technology innovation to the lead to time to enact new legislation? ➡ Which are the most promising technological advancements?   ➡ Who engages in the black economy? Any lessons learned from the past? ➡ Better information and educational campaigns to nurture law-abiding citizens: can it help? Is it worth the money? Workshop outputs will be considered by the Policy Brief Team to refine and finalize their work while the main insights coming from the discussion will be captured in a summary featuring on our Futures4Europe blog.
