Navigating the Ethical Landscape of AI: Algorithmic Bias and Justice

As generative AI (GenAI) rapidly reshapes our world, it’s crucial to examine the ethical implications of these powerful tools.

This panel is designed for faculty members across various disciplines who are interested in understanding the ethical implications of AI. No prior expertise in AI or computer science is required. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the future of AI and the urgent need for algorithmic justice. This panel will delve into the complex issue of algorithmic bias, exploring how biases can be inadvertently embedded in AI systems, and how they can perpetuate societal inequalities. We will discuss the concept of algorithmic justice, which seeks to mitigate these biases and ensure that AI technologies are used equitably.
