Su Lin Blodgett
Su Lin Blodgett is a senior researcher in the Fairness, Accountability, Transparency, and Ethics in AI (FATE) group at Microsoft Research Montréal. She is broadly interested in examining the social and ethical implications of natural language processing technologies; She develops approaches for anticipating, measuring, and mitigating harms arising from language technologies, focusing on the complexities of language and language technologies in their social contexts, and on supporting NLP practitioners in their ethical work.

Panelists
Reza Shokri
Reza Shokri is Assistant Professor at National University of Singapore (NUS). His research is in data privacy and trustworthy machine learning. I am interested in designing methods to quantitatively measure the privacy risks of data processing algorithms, and build scalable schemes for generalizable machine learning models that are also privacy-preserving, robust, interpretable, and fair.

Pratyusha Kalluri
Ria is a Ph.D. student at the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (SAIL), where they are co-advised by Dan Jurafsky and Stefano Ermon. They work on detecting and inducing concepts in otherwise opaque Machine Learning models, as well as examining how current AI concentrates power in the hands of a few, supporting the dreaming and building of Radical AI instead. They cocreated Stanford Inclusion in AI (IIAI) and the decentralized Radical AI Network. They were honored to be selected by the NSF fellowship, the Open Philanthropy AI Fellowship, and the PD Soros Fellowship for New Americans.
