One day workshop @DTU Compute
September 11, 2024
This is an interdisciplinary one-day workshop at DTU Compute on implicit biases in human and machines. The workshop is meant to provide an informal opportunity for researchers in the Copenhagen area, who are experts on or interested in discussing implicit biases, to connect and discuss these topics. The workshop will feature talks by the local experts in the area, as well as ample time for informal discussions. As outcomes of the workshop, we hope to not only learn more about implicit biases as a cognitive and social phenomenon, but also to see the connections between implicit biases as they occur in humans and in machines.
