AI & Equality Festival of Ideas
Where the frontlines meet the code.
May 22nd | Online – Free – All welcome!
Algorithms are deciding who gets bail, who gets A loan, whose language gets spoken by machines, whose body gets flagged at the border, and whose labor gets automated.
The AI & Equality Festival of Ideas will convene the people working with algorithms; linguists building language models for African languages, feminist scholars rewriting the benchmarks, digital rights lawyers fighting surveillance states, health researchers exposing algorithmic bias in clinical care, and organizers connecting the dots between AI, labor, climate, and indigenous land rights.
On May 22, leading organisations will be sharing out loud, across disciplines, about what they are finding, what they are fighting to create, and what it will actually take to get there.
On The Agenda: A Full Day Of 90-Minute Sessions Hosted By Leading Organizations Working At The Frontlines Of AI And Society From Around The World.
Sessions running across all time zones, from South Asia to the Pacific Coast. Wherever you are, there’s a session for you covering the questions that matter most:
- What are visions of society that work for all, and how do we build it?
- Whose knowledge gets encoded — and whose gets erased?
- What would a rights-based, feminist, decolonial, AI actually look like?
- How do we get from research to real change?
- Full programme drops April 15.
