SUMMARY:E&I Speaker Series: Ruha Benjamin
DESCRIPTION:From automated decision systems in healthcare\, policing\, education and more\, technologies have the potential to deepen discrimination while appearing neutral and even benevolent when compared to harmful practices of a previous era. In this talk\, Ruha Benjamin takes us into the world of biased bots\, altruistic algorithms\, and their many entanglements\, and provides conceptual tools to decode tech predictions with historical and sociological insight. When it comes to AI\, Ruha shifts our focus from the dystopian and utopian narratives we are sold\, to a sober reckoning with the way these tools are already a part of our lives. Whereas dystopias are the stuff of nightmares\, and utopias the stuff of dreams… utopias are what we create together when we are wide awake. \nSign up for this event
