Assessing political programs' impact on Doughnut outcomes with AI

Welcome to the latest Doughnut Research-for-Action seminar, entitled Assessing political programs with AI in Nuremberg (Germany), with Alan Fortuny Sicart, convened by Doughnut Economics Action Lab.

📅 Thursday, December 11, 1:00-2:00 PM (UK time)

Session Summary

In this seminar, Alan will introduce how they are introducing the Doughnut framework in Nuremberg, and their next steps to embed it into city planning and ecosocial transformations. He will describe their technical approach to assessing political programs in Nuremberg using large language models (LLMs), and how this method could be scaled to other cities and policy levels. There will be space for feedback, ideas, and any other potential use cases or issues that participants can see.
