Abstract
Generated by Claude, a language model, from the original text; not written by the author.
The workshop, “From Stem to Stern: Contestability Along AI Value Chains”, looked at contesting AI not only at the point of individual decisions but across the whole chain, from resource extraction to deployment. The post shares the AI value chain mapping canvas (CC-BY, Yurrita & Alfrink) used in the first group activity, explains how the 50-minute mapping exercise with ChatGPT as the example case was run, and names its influences (value chain mapping, Wardley mapping). Takeaways include the vocabulary gap between legal and technical communities, the need to move from individual grievance to collective and upstream contestation, and the importance of Global South perspectives. It credits the full workshop team.
