HAI Weekly Seminar with Elizabeth Adams
Beyond the buildings, lakes, homes, and businesses in Minneapolis, are people. People who are impacted by technology used by government. Civic Tech enhances the relationship between people, their community and government by giving a voice in public decision-making processes.
Abstract: Beyond the buildings, lakes, homes, and businesses in Minneapolis, are people. People who are impacted by technology used by government. Civic Tech enhances the relationship between people, their community and government by giving a voice in public decision-making processes.
Without public oversight of A.I. enabled technologies, communities face over policing, loss of data privacy protections and the consequences of human bias directing technology use to govern society. Diverse perspectives should be included in Civic Tech solutions to ensure proper representation and consideration for communities of color and vulnerable populations, those most negatively impacted.
This conversation will include the process and path taken throughout my Race & Tech Fellowship toward the adoption of public oversight of surveillance tech ordinances with the city of Minneapolis.

Arvind Narayanan | Adapting to the Transformation of Knowledge Work
The possibility that AI will automate most cognitive labor is worth taking seriously. How should we adapt to this transformation? I start from the perspective, articulated in the essay “AI as normal technology”, that the true bottlenecks lie downstream of capabilities and that AI’s impacts will unfold gradually over decades. If this is true, there are major gaps in our current evidence infrastructure, because it over-emphasizes the capability layer.
