Presenting the first AI &Equality Toolbox Summer School!

We’re excited to bring you our free Human Rights Toolbox course, available for the first time as a fully accompanied learning experience.

We aim to:

• Equip you with a detailed understanding of a human-rights-based approach to AI development 
• Provide a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms currently counteracting this approach
• Introduce technical and non-technical solutions around the human rights impacts of AI systems 
• Enable you to critically analyse and reflect on the objectives and outcomes of any new technology products
• Promote collaboration between disciplines and actors

Why?

• Creation of technology is strengthened by consultation, consensus, and diverse disciplinary perspectives, as well as the lived experiences of affected communities.
• Impacted communities & experts from all parts of the technology and social science spectrums require a basic understanding and common vocabulary to participate in this important conversation.

When?

• July 2, July 9, July 16, July 23 
• 14.00-17.00 UTC 
• 1-2 hours reading
• Optional Coffee/Office Hours: Thursdays 1400-1500  UTC

Who?

Anyone with an interest in human rights and AI systems    

For technical participants: Code to Module 3 (and an additional Module 5) can be viewed in Jupyter Notebooks with a follow-along tutorial. Coding-office hours (in addition to the Hang Out Coffee Hours  to discuss questions once a week)  are also available.
