The growth of AI in the past year has been terrifying to witness, and has caused many of our generation to start boycotting some companies who are embracing the use of generative AI and ignoring its detrimental impact. We do not want Woodcraft to join this number.
The DFs at Althing unanimously voted to write the following statement into our constitution:
“We as DFs condemn the use of Generative AI, and recognise its harmful impact on children’s development. GDPR and the environment”. We had an in-depth discussion about how to uphold Woodcraft Folk’s aims and principles in our stance on AI, and particularly thought it fundamentally opposed the following areas:
2. Education for social change
5. Children’s Rights
7. Nature, Environment and Our World
Woodcraft is a place of safety. It is a place of joy. Do not let this be lost. Join our Anti-AI working group to help us make a policy that prioritises the young people of this organisation. Get in touch with Chair@spanthat.world to find out more.
Keep the skies blue,
DF Communications Rep
