YouTube video by Women at The Table Linda Wen | Designing AI for Human Agency

🚀 Exciting #OpenStudio Recap! 🎥 We recently had the pleasure of hosting Linda Wen, who shared insights as a design researcher working at #MicrosoftResearch | on how we can build AI systems that also prioritize #humanagency, safety, and fairness.

How A.I. Is Changing the Way the World Builds Computers Tech companies are revamping computing — from how tiny chips are built to the way they are arranged, cooled and powered — in the race to build artificial intelligence that recreates the human brain.

The rebuilding of computer systems to accommodate AI represents "the most fundamental change to computing since the early days of the World Wide Web." It's “reshaping not just technology but also finance, energy and communities.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Worker led innovation is key to ensuring AI at work is genuinely beneficial for all, equitable, sustainable and just. This timely and important report from @jlthorne.bsky.social KIT Karlsruhe @autonomy-institute.bsky.social sets out historical examples we can draw on to inform present challenges.

What are the benefits and risks of open source AI? How can confronting current AI risks and harms help us develop a toolkit for future ones? Why and how should we pursue “thick alignment” of AI models and uses? Great convo today w/ @yoshuabengio.bsky.social @jakobmokander.bsky.social #AIActionSummit

We have recently published our AI & Equality #WhitePaper "Integrating #HumanRights Considerations Along the AI Lifecycle A Framework to AI Development"

➡️ aiequalitytoolbox.com/aie-white-pa...

It's out! 🤩 Our #WhitePaper is a must-read.

🔷 Our framework demands that communities—not just companies—shape #AI from the start.

🔷 No more black-box decisions. No more systems that serve the powerful at the expense of the rest.

aiequalitytoolbox.com/aie-white-pa...

AI for Everyone—Not Just the Few.

🚨AI decisions affect all of us. If the system isn’t built with everyone in mind, it’s built for failure.
