Russell Wald | Expanding Academia's Role in Public Sector AI
This seminar will discuss how governments must boost investment in public sector AI research and propose policies to balance industry dominance with significant academic contributions.
Expanding Academia's Role in Public Sector AI
AI has captured public attention and become a focal point for policymakers. Concerns about AI have evolved from niche academic discussions to widespread public discourse, influencing legislative actions worldwide. Currently, the focus is mainly on industry-driven AI products, sidelining the broader AI ecosystem and societal impacts. This industry-centric approach marginalizes academia and civil society, potentially skewing AI governance toward industry interests rather than public good. To address this, diverse stakeholder involvement is essential in AI development. Robust academic research is crucial for human-centered AI, driving scientific curiosity, training future AI leaders, and providing policymakers with an objective understanding of AI. This seminar will discuss how governments must boost investment in public sector AI research and propose policies to balance industry dominance with significant academic contributions.

Neil Thompson: Forecasting AI’s Impact on Human Expertise and the Future of Work
AI is advancing rapidly at the cognitive tasks that make up knowledge work, raising fears among firms, policymakers, and, not least, workers of a “China shock” for white-collar jobs. Neil Thompson will present new research on whether those fears are warranted.
