Thrilled to have attended the AI LA Responsible AI Symposium last Thursday! The event featured an incredible lineup of speakers and thought-provoking discussions on the future of AI and its impact on society. The highlight for me was not only the amazing panel speakers but meeting Dr. Safiya Noble, Ph.D., who is one of my greatest academic role models. As a student studying computer science, her incredible book Algorithms of Oppression made such a huge impact on my academic career and future goals, as well as compelling me to acknowledge the extent of algorithmic bias and it’s devastating effects on marginalized communities. It was absolutely surreal to meet her in person, and I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity. I also would like to thank the panelists for their invaluable contributions to these challenging yet crucial conversations. Their insights were not only enlightening but also deeply thought-provoking, and have definitely made an impact on my views regarding AI in the modern world. Special thanks to the panelists from the "AI and Democracy" panel: Sneha Deo, Michael Morgenstern (he/they), Alessia Zornetta, and Patricio Utz. And to the panelists from the "Responsible AI Development" panel: Aida Rahmattalabi, Salima Bhimani, PhD, Scot Pansing, and Judd Rosenblatt. Lastly, a big thank you to AI LA for organizing such a fantastic event and facilitating important conversations around responsible AI development. I’m looking forward to more events like this! #AI #ResponsibleAI #EthicalAI #WomenInTech
