Hi Sara,
Thanks for the paper, it's clear and straightforward. The call for
participations for your workshop looks very interesting and related with
the subjects I'm working now. Unfortunately I'm quite far (Mexico City) and
I don't have the budget, so it would be complicated to attend.
Actually, last week I had a presentation on the state of AI in public
administrations looking towards a Human Centered AI. Here are the slides if
they could be useful for you.

Best,
Sandra.
