The expert panel contained of politicians and academic scholars who presented input to subsequent roundtable discussions. The audience consisted of researchers, employees, and employers from multiple age groups. The event was held in Danish and data was collected (and partly translated) via recordings and an online app. For more data, please see the following.

Voices

"I have heard concerns here today that I had never thought of, and they have affected my opinion about robots in our lives."

“We should no-longer see robotics as something new – the development has been long underway. The time is ready to also discuss aspects like ethics and societal organisational aspects; including enhancing that which humans can do and robots cannot.”

“I felt my voice was heard during the discussions at my table and with my questions to the panels."

“[The mini-public] a very vivid and engaging way of demonstrating the breadth of thinking about robots.”
