SUMMARY:Operationalizing responsible AI | The Brookings Institution
DESCRIPTION:There is widespread agreement among ethicists and tech advocates that responsible AI principles requires fairness\, transparency\, privacy\, human safety\, and explanability. But it is not always clear how to operationalize these broad principles or how to handle situations when conflicts arise between them. Moving from the abstract to the concrete when developing algorithms often presents challenges as a focus on one goal can come at the detriment of alternative objectives. \nOn April 5\, the Center for Technology Innovation at Brookings will host an expert panel that will cover ways to operationalize responsible AI and move toward more concrete standards. Panelists will also discuss how to design appropriate algorithms and build technical capacity in the workforce. \n[…]

SUMMARY:Lies\, Free Speech\, and the Law | Knight First Amendment Institute
DESCRIPTION:On April 8\, 2022\, the Knight Institute will host a symposium to explore how the law regulates or should regulate false and misleading speech. The symposium\, titled “Lies\, Free Speech\, and the Law\,” is being overseen by the Institute’s Senior Visiting Research Scholar Genevieve Lakier and will take place at Columbia University. \nThe symposium will focus on five themes that examine the connections between lies\, freedom of speech (construed broadly)\, and the law. These are: 1) the sociological and constitutional status of false or misleading speech; 2) defining the category of lies; 3) structural regulation and the problem of lies; 4) government lies; and 5) the deregulation of disclosure. \nDue to university restrictions\, only Columbia University students\, faculty\, and staff will be allowed to attend in person. We encourage everyone else to please join us online. All panels will be livestreamed. Please RSVP to receive links and updates about the program. \n[…]\n\n

SUMMARY:The Future of Social Media: Covering\, Researching\, and Regulating Platforms | NYU’s Center for Social Media and Politics
DESCRIPTION:Social media platforms generate mountains of data — about what we like\, what news we read\, and who we talk to. This information\, for the most part\, is only available to the companies themselves\, meaning journalists\, researchers\, policymakers\, and the public lack a clear understanding of how social media impacts our society. The Facebook Papers changed that. The internal research not only revealed the potential harms caused by its platforms\, but that Facebook knew about those harms and did little to stop them. Now\, with an explosion of attention around this issue\, we must ask — what’s next?\n\nThis half-day virtual symposium brings together a range of journalists\, researchers\, and legal experts to explore that question and examine how to cover\, research\, and regulate social media platforms in the wake of the Facebook Papers. Join us for one panel or the entire event.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored by: NYU’s Center for Social Media & Politics\, Engelberg Center on Innovation Law & Policy at NYU School of Law\, CUNY Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism\, NYU Arts & Science\, and NYU Brademas Center.\n\n[…]
