Tackling Race, Bias & Inequality in Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly impacting our lives and interacting with the biases and inequalities that exist in our society. What does this mean for people of color? Can we—and should we—regulate AI? How do we harness its power to create a more just and equitable future? Hear from our panel of experts—Julia Stoyanovich, a professor at NYU and the director of the Center for Responsible AI, Eric Corbett, a researcher at NYU Center for Urban Science & Progress, and authors Safiya Noble (Algorithms of Oppression) and Brian Christian (The Alignment Problem) for a lively discussion about how AI is transforming our society and what next steps we can all take.
