AI and the Diversity Challenge

Artificial intelligence is taking up all sorts of tasks that would have been hard to imagine just a few years ago: drafting legal documents, deploying police officers, even writing news articles.

But if these systems are going to effective, not to mention fair, they need the steady human hand of a programmer who can spot the problems and make necessary adjustments. This not only demands technical proficiency but also cultural competency. In this webinar, through examples, case studies and analogies, we’ll explore what is AI, the promise it holds, where it can fail and how might we build safe and reliable AI.

Swathi Sadagopan, a Munk Fellow at the University of Toronto and Senior Consultant with Deloitte joined us for this webinar on April 17, 2019.
