About this event

Could the uptake of AI lead to greater levels of inequity?

Can we develop AI in ways that boost equity & opportunity?

As AI becomes increasingly embedded into our daily lives, how might we foster diversity & inclusion in its development & governance?

These questions are increasingly pressing, yet answers remain unclear.
