CDT is excited to present its new report, Challenging the Use of Algorithm-driven Decision-making in Benefits Determinations Affecting People with Disabilities, which analyzes the various litigation strategies for challenging AI used to cut public benefits.

Join us for a presentation of the report’s key findings, followed by a panel discussion with litigators and benefits recipients about how states’ increasing turn to automatic is affecting disabled people’s rights. The panel will discuss how advocates have challenged these harms inside the courtroom and through other advocacy strategies.

Presentation: Lydia X. Z. Brown, Policy Counsel on CDT’s Privacy & Data Project

Discussion Panel:

Tina Smith Nelson, Manager and Supervising Attorney with AARP Legal Counsel for the Elderly
Kevin De Liban, Director of Advocacy at Legal Aid of Arkansas
Tammy Dobbs, disability justice self-advocate
Moderator: Ridhi Shetty, Policy Counsel on CDT’s Privacy & Data Project

We’re including closed captioning and ASL interpretation as part of this discussion. If you have other access needs or questions, please contact Timothy Hoagland (he/him), CDT Director of Communications, by Thursday, October 15, 2020 via email at thoagland@cdt.org.
