In a small-scale exploration, Charge (the scientific platform for Volt Nederland, charge.volt.org ) collected the personal experiences of 25 participants with generative AI. Not through interviews or surveys, but with the help of SenseMaker: a participatory method in which people articulate their own experiences and give them meaning. So not just telling stories, but also interpreting them themselves. What affects them? What values are at stake? And who do they think should hear this?
