SUMMARY:Protecting Democracy's Data | Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:The United States census\, conducted every ten years\, is one of the world’s oldest and biggest data-making endeavors\, and one of the country’s most consequential. In her urgent new book Data Are Made\, Not Found: A Story of Politics\, Power\, and the Civil Servants Who Saved the US Census\, professor\, researcher\, and Data & Society founder danah boyd explores what it took for the Census Bureau to make the 2020 census\, amid a global pandemic and natural disasters\, and while navigating political forces that constrained the budget\, micro-managed the schedule\, and attacked statisticians’ methods. Despite these challenges\, civil servants saved the 2020 census\, but future censuses — and other data-making efforts related to elections\, health\, and the economy — are precarious. \nBy documenting the perspectives of government workers in Data Are Made\, Not Found\, boyd provides a rare glimpse into what it takes to make democracy’s data and shows clearly why protecting democracy means protecting the people and institutions that produce that data. Join us on September 23 at 1 pm ET as boyd delves into her research and its implications with historian and author Dan Bouk\, in a conversation moderated by Data & Society Executive Director Janet Haven.

SUMMARY:Who Gets to Decide How AI Enters Our Schools? With Data & Society
DESCRIPTION:Explore how AI’s role in classrooms is being shaped in New York City and beyond with Coding Kids author Natasha Singer and other panelists at this discussion presented by the research and policy institute Data & Society. \nThis event will take place in person and online at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library on the 7th Floor. \nThis is a pivotal year for shaping the role AI will play in American classrooms. Around the country\, states have already begun distributing AI products across school districts\, and New York City’s DOE recently released its own preliminary guidance on AI. This event will explore what’s at stake for the city’s more than 1\,700 schools and the millions of students and families they serve. \nCoding Kids: Big Tech’s Battle to Remake Public Schools\, the new book by New York Times reporter and Data & Society alum Natasha Singer\, explores how tech companies are using schools to mainstream their AI tools. Singer will discuss her reporting and the broader issues at stake in a discussion with other panelists (to be announced) moderated by Meredith Broussard\, Data & Society advisor and professor at NYU’s Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute\, and author of More Than a Glitch. The event will be introduced by Data & Society Executive Director Janet Haven.
