Gender and AI: Promise and Perils | Session 3: Policy and Advocacy

Описание: As UNESCO—the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization—has recently noted, “new AI applications have the power to subtly shape the perceptions of millions of people, so even small gender biases in their content can significantly amplify inequalities in the real world.”

The Harvard Radcliffe Institute conference explores present and future challenges and opportunities posed by the intersections of gender and artificial intelligence (AI). Leading computer scientists, engineers, policy makers, ethicists, artists, and representatives from the private sector will investigate how gender may affect—positively and negatively—the creation, operation, and impact of cutting-edge technologies using AI.

In this interdisciplinary program, participants examine how we might address gender inequities in AI, “data feminism,” fairness-based applications of AI, the role of public policy in AI’s shifting landscape, as well as ways even to find beauty.

This event is cosponsored by the Women and Public Policy Program at Harvard Kennedy School.

Harvard Radcliffe Institute gratefully acknowledges the Perrin Moorhead Grayson and Bruns Grayson Dean's Leadership Fund for Academic Ventures, which is supporting this event.
