SUMMARY:Folio Presents: Power and Politics in the Age of AI with Onur Bakiner
DESCRIPTION:Monday, April 20th\nFree and open to all.\nShouldn’t the public have a say in how AI is changing our lives?AI is marketed as a life-changing innovation made by brilliant experts and the companies they work for. Yet as the people most affected by AI tools, we have almost no say in designing, developing, or deploying them.\nIn this talk, explore the ways that AI companies are shutting people out of their creation, stifling competition, threatening jobs, and shaking up society. Then learn how we can fight back, helping shape this new technology into a tool that helps us lead productive, enjoyable, healthy, and meaningful lives.\nOnur Bakiner is a professor and director of the Technology Ethics Initiative at Seattle University. His research interests include technology governance, human rights, and judicial politics. His book Truth Commissions: Memory, Power, and Legitimacy received the Best Book Award, American Political Science Association.\nRSVP\n
