🌍 Open Discussion Meetup: Understanding Gen Z For our next meetup, we’re opening the conversation beyond books and diving into a broader discussion about Gen Z, the generation shaping culture, identity, work, relationships, politics, technology, and social life in rapidly changing times. How does Gen Z view the world differently? What pressures are young people facing today? How are social media, mental health, identity, dating, work expectations, and global uncertainty shaping an entire generation? Rather than a formal debate, this will be an open, thoughtful, and respectful exchange of ideas and experiences. The goal is not to “win” discussions, but to better understand the realities, frustrations, hopes, and contradictions surrounding Gen Z today. Whether you’re Gen Z yourself, a parent, teacher, researcher, or simply curious about generational change, you’re very welcome to join. 📅 Date: Saturday, 13 June ⏰ Time: 11:30 📍 Venue: Carpe Diem, Avenue de Tervuren 13, 1040 Brussels Expect an engaging and relaxed conversation over coffee, with people from different backgrounds and perspectives. As always, those who wish can stay for lunch afterwards. 🏡 Meetup Ground Rules 1️⃣ Everyone is welcome, regardless of background or generation 2️⃣ We listen to understand, not to win 3️⃣ Curiosity, respect, and openness come first Looking forward to another lively and meaningful exchange of ideas. 📞 Questions: 0474.60.83.70

Can crime be predicted by algorithms? And if so, should we use them to prevent crimes from happening? This question has fueled many dystopian works of fiction, such as **Minority Report**, which imagines a technology capable of predicting crimes in precise detail and raises fundamental questions about free will and individual responsibility. **Person of Interest** explores a more realistic scenario, where machine learning and mass surveillance are used to identify high-risk individuals through the monitoring of communications. Many episodes of **Black Mirror** similarly examine the consequences of predictive technologies and their impact on privacy, liberty, and social control. A common theme emerges from these stories: such technologies are often portrayed not as tools of public safety, but as threats to freedom and democracy. Yet the idea is not purely fictional. While no system today can predict crimes with the certainty depicted in science fiction, predictive algorithms are already being used in various aspects of law enforcement and criminal justice. **COMPAS**, for example, has been used in American courts to estimate the likelihood that a defendant will reoffend. **Geolitica**, formerly known as **PredPol**, uses historical crime data to forecast crime hotspots and guide police deployment. More broadly, advances in artificial intelligence, big data, and digital surveillance continue to expand our ability to identify patterns in human behavior. Some even point to the Chinese **Social Credit System** as an example of how large-scale data collection can be used to monitor and influence citizens. Now that the technological capabilities have already been laid out, should we, as a society, pursue the endeavor of developing a predictive algorithm that would allow us to prevent crime? Or is there a moral imperative that prevents us from doing so? Join us as we debate whether predictive crime technology represents the future of public safety or the first step toward a surveillance dystopia. This debate will follow a British Parliamentary format with eight debaters split into **four teams of two.** Participants who wish to speak are highly encouraged to bring a paper and pen. You are welcome to participate even if you have no prior debating experience. We aim for debates that are respectful, constructive, and welcoming: * **Respect ideas and people** Listen actively, stay quiet while others speak, and debate arguments, not identities or beliefs. * **Be concise and civil** Keep questions short and relevant; avoid hostility, hate speech, or discrimination. * **Respect boundaries and time** No unwanted advances or suggestive behavior; arrive on time to avoid disrupting the debate. * **Follow moderators** They guide the discussion and ensure fairness.
