As AI systems increasingly shape critical decisions in society, ensuring fairness presents both philosophical and practical challenges. This talk begins by broadening the existing scope of normative discourse on machine learning and algorithmic decision-making.
Artificial intelligence is often seen as a mirror of human intelligence, an attempt to replicate the processes that occur within a human mind. However, a different perspective is presented in the book Feeding the Machine, co-authored by Prof. Mark Graham. AI is described as an “extraction machine.” When users interact with AI…
The online information environment is pervasive in human life, shaping outcomes across fields ranging from mental health, to disaster response, to consumer behavior to trust. And it is shifting rapidly as new technologies (e.g. generative AI) shift how we produce and consume information. Science is not keeping pace with the…
Last year, the Supreme Court heard three cases about the sovereign rights of Native American tribes in the United States — one of which resulted in a major victory for the tribes. But honoring tribal choices has at times produced conflicting claims of individual rights. Join us for a conversation with Audrey Martinez, a…
Tufekci examines how Artificial Good-Enough Intelligence —AI that may not outperform humans or even old technology, but is good enough for broad use because it removes friction and is faster, cheaper and deployable at scale— can fuel major turbulence, and in a hard-to-predict manner.A lot of early predictions about how new tech…
Computing is increasingly distributed and situated in the physical spaces around us, no longer bound to two-dimensional screens. Wearable devices, such as virtual reality (VR) headsets and AI-powered augmented reality (AR) glasses, can not only present digital information at any time and within the real-world context, but also…
