Inclusive Intelligence: Ethical AI for Social Justice

Description:

What if we could use AI to solve poverty or recidivism? What if AI was leveraged to serve black and brown communities in a way that included their voices from ideation to design to implementation? Ethical AI means not just mitigating bias to benefit historically underserved people but also drawing solutions directly from unserved populations like returning citizens and individuals experiencing extreme poverty. Perfect for tech developers, advocates, and community leaders, this workshop will equip you to approach AI for social justice with a whole new framework.
