    This session is unique in that it connects discussions on AI governance with alternative economic models, an area rarely addressed in mainstream AI debates. While most conversations focus on technical innovation, ethics, or regulation, this session examines how ownership structures and economic governance of digital platforms shape the societal impacts of AI. By bringing the perspective of platform cooperatives and the Social and Solidarity Economy, the discussion highlights how democratic governance, collective ownership, and community participation can influence the development of inclusive AI economies.

    Consequently, this session will raise awareness of innovative approaches to inclusive AI governance by introducing platform cooperatives as an alternative model for AI-driven digital economies, allowing participants to gain insights into how ownership models and access to data influence the societal impacts of AI. By examining practical experiences and policy perspectives, the session provides lessons on how cooperative and community-based platforms can promote more democratic, fair, and inclusive AI systems. Ultimately, participants, including policymakers, researchers, practitioners, and civil society actors, will leave with concrete ideas on how to support AI ecosystems that distribute value, participation, and decision-making more equitably.
