DETAILS

In 2017, society started treating biased algorithms & privacy-related issues seriously. Now, in light of this year's revelations about the misuse of personal user data, cyber threats to elections, & upcoming GDPR policy implementation, we are at a turning point as to how data-driven technologies & AI will shape the future.

How can we ensure that the development of sophisticated machine intelligence is framed by ethical, human-first, boundaries? What will transparency mean in a world driven by AI systems that feed on sensitive data? Why should humanistic design & inclusive education be essential components in such conversation? Join us on Monday, May 14th at Work-Bench to explore some of the most important questions of our time.

To drive this conversation, we've asked three talented entrepreneurs & executives to share their insights & confront divergent point of views. The following panel discussion will be moderated by Robert Strati, Co-founder & Head of UX at Echo, a design agency focused on bringing humanity to AI & Machine Learning products.
