Here Be Dragons: The Challenges of Pursuing Responsible AI

Over the last decade, a range of practices have emerged as scholars, practitioners, and regulators attempt to ensure that AI investments don't go off the rails. Practices like red-teaming marry earlier approaches to content moderation and security, but others are being developed specifically for the Generative AI space. Many of these fit under the broader rubric of "responsible AI." How sociotechnical systems are designed, developed, and deployed is not inevitable. It behooves us all to grapple with known pitfalls, minimize risks, and nudge the systems towards constructive ends.  In this talk, danah will explore the range of traps that those seeking to minimize harm have, are, and will face as they attempt to ground fast-moving developments and offer frameworks for thinking about the present moment. 


Zoom Link will be provided to remote attendees.
