Panel Description:

From unemployment and worker displacement to heightened workplace surveillance, the list of concerns raised by AI use in the workplace is long. Beginning with a broad look at the economic landscape, this panel will compare state, federal, and international regulatory frameworks on AI and their implications for workers’ rights; consider the pitfalls of automated decision-making; and explore how organized labor has sought to address AI-related risks.

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.
