AI and Inequality: How Machines Keep Us Poor, Sick, and Discriminated Against

Curated and moderated by Dr. Avriel Epps
Featuring Meredith Broussard, Virginia Eubanks, and Dr. Charles Senteio

The third program in our AI series, this conversation will focus on the critical issue of inherent biases in AI technologies, especially as they are deployed in law enforcement, healthcare, government, and education. We’ll look at how these biases manifest and their profound implications.


This program is part of a series of discussions aimed at demystifying AI, exploring its multifaceted impact on both society at large and our individual well-being.
