Join us on Tuesday, March 12 for a presentation on Artificial Intelligence (AI) by Dr. Kaiping Chen, Assistant Professor in Computational Communication at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
As a scholar specializing in both democratic theories and data science, Dr. Chen will kick off her presentation by mapping the landscape of AI’s current applications and its pervasive yet often unnoticed presence in our daily lives. She will explore how these applications can enhance human well-being, while also delving into pressing issues of privacy, safety, and equity that accompany AI technologies.
Using her cutting-edge research on Large Language Models as a case study, Dr. Chen will offer illuminating examples of how these models interact with diverse social groups on pivotal matters such as the Black Lives Matter movement and climate change. The empirical findings from her latest work will challenge us to consider what “equity” really means in the context of emerging technologies that purport to benefit society at large.
To conclude, Dr. Chen will introduce a framework for “Responsible Innovation,” which will guide us in contemplating how AI technologies can be developed and assessed to meet the needs of various stakeholders, while also fostering broader societal engagement.
