SXSW 2024
Digital Civil Rights in AI peril
Description:
The widespread deployment and utilization of AI tools, with demonstrated impacts on civil liberties and civil rights, highlight the need for transparency, accountability, and regulation to ensure that the development of future AI systems is done with an ethical and equitable lens--and that harmful products are not deployed. This panel unpacks the complex ways AI is already impacting Black communities and identifies timely protections and innovations critical to the health, safety, and civil liberties of communities of color, and to our democracy.
