6th Annual BTLJ-BCLT Fall Race & Tech Symposium – (Panel 1) “Where We Live, Work, Play, and Learn”: Generative AI and Environmental Policy

FREE
  • Instructor(s):  BCLT

Occured Monday, September 29, 20256th Annual BTLJ-BCLT Fall Race & Tech Symposium: Regulating the Machine: Centering Racial Justice in AI Policy-MakingPanel 1: “Where We Live, Work, Play, and Learn”: Generative AI and Environmental Policy Program Information | Agenda | Resources Panel Description: The climate crisis, environmental disasters, and the “slow violence” of harms like long-term pollution have disproportionately affected low-income communities of color. Amidst the worsening climate crisis, this panel explores the environmental consequences of the generative AI boom, from rapid increases in energy consumption to the strain that data centers place on municipal water systems. We will discuss best practices for developing AI-related environmental guardrails and how policy solutions can effectively center the needs of marginalized populations. Speakers Adam Husik, K&L Gates Alyssa Moir, K&L Gates Roberto Verdecchia, University of Florence Moderator Dan Farber, CLEE, UC Berkeley Law   Symposium Description: Join us for Regulating the Machine: Centering Racial Justice in AI Policy-Making, a thought-provoking event exploring the intersection of AI, racial justice, and regulatory and legal frameworks that seek to address some of the most pressing issues of our time. We’ll explore the convergence of the worsening climate crisis and the “AI boom”; unpack concerns about how AI use will impact workers; and discuss the consequence of racial bias in AI tools across sectors, from the criminal legal system to healthcare. Through engaging panel discussions, we’ll discuss best practices for developing AI-related guardrails, asking what is still needed to protect the marginalized communities disproportionately affected by climate disaster, safeguard workers’ rights, and ensure the just and reliable provision of healthcare. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from preeminent experts in various fields and plug into meaningful conversations about how emerging technologies shape our lives—from our personal health outcomes to the places where we, and our families, live, work, play, and learn.   Co-organized By

A Critical Feminist Evaluation of Climate Adaptation Law and Policy: The Case of Aotearoa New Zealand

FREE
  • Instructor(s):  Center on Comparative Equality & Anti-discrimination Law

Conventional legal approaches to climate adaptation are often characterized based on technocratic and reductionist planning strategies that fail to account for the gendered experiences and knowledge of women. Annick’s analysis reveals, in line with global tendencies, that technocratic, masculinity and top-down approaches to climate adaptation have been prioritized over knowledge and approaches from diverse feminist, Indigenous and queer, and broader social science perspectives. She suggests three principles to advance a critical feminist reconceptualization of climate adaptation: (1) centering relationality and care; (2) putting equity and justice in context; and (3) acknowledging diverse agency and knowledge production. These principles present a possible new path towards more diverse climate adaptation based on alternative understandings of human-environment relationships and reciprocal ethics of care.  Speaker: Annick Masselot; University of Canterbury, Faculty of Law If you need assistance accessing any of this information and/or would like to submit your evaluation, please email Charlie Tsunoda at charlietsunoda@berkeley.edu.
