Technology has long offered the promise of democratization. But it has also been used to amplify and entrench existing systems of power and inequality. How do we see the role of data and AI in shaping or reshaping power imbalances with regard to individuals, communities, and society at large?
Join us for an expert panel discussion about the ways in which AI has the potential to exacerbate inequality and why the concept of power dynamics in AI is so important to address.
Featured Panelists:
Kim Gallon, Associate Professor of Africana Studies
Suresh Venkatasubramanian, Professor of Data Science and Computer Science
Malik Boykin, Assistant Professor of Cognitive, Linguistic and Psychological Sciences
Moderated by Francis J. Doyle III, Provost
