An Interdisciplinary Conversation to Reimagine the Future of AI Ethics

August 5, 2021 @ 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm EDT

Session type: Panel Discussion

The future of AI ethics is not a linear conversation that pertains to a single field. Rather the future towards ethical AI requires interdisciplinary and intersectional conversations with a variety of stakeholders from civil society to human rights advocates. The panel will be exploring the role of AI ethics in a variety of fields, tying it back to the impact AI and AI ethics has on civil society and specific communities.

Moderator:  Muriam Fancy, AI/Tech Ethicist, MA
