Queer in AI: Making AI Queer-Inclusive and Prioritizing Grassroots D&I Activism

Virtual Event

Trustworthy artificial intelligence (AI) has become an important topic because trust in AI systems and their creators has been lost. Researchers, corporations, and governments have long and painful histories of excluding marginalized groups from technology development, deployment, and oversight. As a result, these technologies are less useful and even harmful to minoritized communities. We argue […]
