Design fiction scenarios of future smart technologies - co-created resources for participatory research and engagement activities

<p dir="ltr">These four videos are a series of fictional scenarios depicting possible futures where smart technologies are used for public communications. They are created as a set of resources to facilitate reflections and discussions in participatory research (including for focus groups, interviews, citizen juries, etc.) as well as engagement activities in smart communications. The videos are the result of a co-creation process involving relevant stakeholders, including legal and technical experts, policymakers, regulators and civil society organisations, using the design fiction methodology and covering a range of themes explored in a research workshop.</p><p dir="ltr">The four scenarios each feature a possible use case of smart technologies (without necessarily representing a prediction of the future):<br>1.
