Telling Stories: On Culturally Responsive AI
New technologies often export the assumptions, experiences, and values of their developers, assumptions that do not always carry over to different world views.
A new book, Telling Stories, recently published by the University of Washington Tech Policy Lab, explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is affecting cultures, countries and communities around the world. It collects 19 short stories from authors, academics and activists from Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas in a unique experiment to shift perspective and spark discussion.
Join us on March 18 at 6:00 p.m. PDT to hear some of those stories, meet the authors, and explore the wider world of AI.
Speakers will include founders of UW’s Tech Policy Labs, Ryan Calo and Batya Friedman, and we’re very excited to have featured author Nnenna Nwakanma of the World Wide Web Foundation join us from Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire.
Admission is open and free to all but you must register to receive the Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_qRIFQqKVQoy5qhaY1DtFIg
