Join us on Thursday, March 12, 2020 from 12:00-1:30 PM at Morgan Lewis to hear from Chelsea Barabas, Research Scientist, MIT Media Lab.
The First Amendment in the Digital Age
In the Algorithmic Age, how do we coexist with new technologies while also fighting for expanded civil rights and civil liberties? From healthcare to housing to criminal justice, artificial intelligence and algorithmic decision-making systems pose new threats to equity and justice. Media Lab Research Scientist, Chelsea Barabas, will explore this topic and expand on the social and ethical implications of these technologies.
