Advances in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly algorithmic AI, hold the potential to improve access to services, increase efficiency, and reduce bias. They also raise new questions about what constitutes equitable treatment or discrimination.
On December 4, The Hamilton Project at Brookings will host a virtual event focusing on the opportunities and risks associated with the growing use of algorithms, including whether new regulatory frameworks or ways of adapting existing anti-discrimination and other rules are needed. The event will feature a panel discussion with Tara Sinclair (George Washington University), Catherine Tucker (MIT), and Nicol Turner Lee (The Brookings Institution). The discussion will be moderated by Sanjay Patnaik (The Brookings Institution).
In conjunction with the event, the Hamilton Project will release a proposal from Catherine Tucker addressing artificial intelligence and algorithmic exclusion.
