Center on Law, Race & Policy hosts AI and Marginalized Groups Symposium
On September 20, 2024, Duke Law’s Center on Law, Race & Policy (“CLRP”) hosted its AI and Marginalized Groups Symposium.
Generative AI is all the buzz, with individuals across disciplines speculating about its potential benefits and costs. This type of speculation becomes particularly pressing when the interests of already vulnerable populations are implicated. CLRP therefore hosted the AI and Marginalized Groups Symposium focused on the potential effects of generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) on marginalized groups.
The symposium was a culmination of a series of events, beginning with a panel held in October 2023. The symposium was a continuation of October’s discussion and provided an opportunity for our panelists and others to contribute their works related to the topic. The symposium featured a diverse and interdisciplinary panel of scholars and in-field experts, touching on the intersection between AI and journalism, criminal justice, criminal sentencing, employment, entertainment, immigration, media, privacy, and policing, among other areas.
The symposium was open to students, faculty, and members of the Duke University community and was sponsored by CLRP and the Duke University Social Science Research Institute (SSRI) Grant Program. You may watch recordings of the different panels on CLRP’s YouTube Channel here.
