About the fall series with Data & Society:
The New York Public Library and Data & Society present “Understanding AI,” a four-part live event series exploring the social implications of artificial intelligence and its impacts on democracy, the environment, and human labor. Featuring key figures in the AI ethics field, these events will take place in person at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library (SNFL) in New York City as part of the library’s 7 Stories Up program, and will also be available to watch via livestream. This series of conversations will demystify the AI discourse and equip library patrons and the public with practical ways of understanding the current landscape.
This event is the opening session of the fall series with Data & Society.
Social scientist Alice E. Marwick will host a grounding conversation about how AI technologies are reshaping daily life with artist Mimi Ọnụọha, journalist Meredith Broussard, and computer science professor Suresh Venkatasubramanian.
