Forum Communs de données et IA

Maurice is participating in the Forum Communs de données et IA, a two-day workshop at INRS in Montréal beginning 27 October 2026. The forum asks how intensive use of cultural and open data by AI systems is changing access and governance, from galleries, libraries, archives, and museums to digital commons such as Wikipedia. It brings together researchers, students, GLAM professionals, commons actors, and decision-makers from Canada and Europe.

On 28 October, Maurice is also on the public panel Mapping collective initiatives, online at 11:00. The public session runs from 9:30 to noon and is in English. The programme also lists Fenwick McKelvey (Concordia University, Machine Agencies), Lorena Aldana (Europeana), and Kathy Reid (Mozilla Data Collective).

ArtIA unites artists and cultural workers to advance a commons-based alternative to the dominant Silicon Valley model of AI.
