AI's Blind Spots & What We Can Do About It
AI's Blind Spots: A Conversation on Cultural Bias in AI and What We Can Do About It
From mentorship to impact, join:
Abubakar Abid (Fatima Institute, Founder & Mentor; Hugging Face, Head of Applications, MIT BS, MS; Stanford PhD) and
Tarek Naous (Fatima Fellow; Georgia Tech, PhD candidate; ACL 2024 Best Social Impact Award)
for an insightful conversation as they deep-dive into tackling hidden biases in LLMs and algorithms and their work in making AI research a more global initiative.
Join us on Saturday, December 20th, at 9am PT / 12pm ET.
Fatima Institute for Global AI Research
Currently, 85% of AI research comes from just four countries, leaving 77% of the world with little to no voice in shaping the technology that will define their future. This leads to real-world consequences like biased healthcare algorithms and AI systems that can't serve 4 billion people.
Fatima Institute for Global AI Research: A global community advancing inclusive, ethical, and impactful AI research
We run a predoctoral fellowship for brilliant students and researchers from underrepresented countries and provide structured opportunities for fundamental research, mentorship, and computational resources.
Our fellows are already making a global impact:
Elite Outcomes: Our fellows have a 36% acceptance rate into top graduate programs like Harvard, Georgia Tech, and Princeton, over 3 times the global average.
Groundbreaking Research: Our fellows have published over 12 papers in top-tier conferences, tackling crucial issues in low-resource languages and algorithmic fairness.
Global Community: We have trained 112 fellows from over 1,500 applicants, creating a worldwide network of collaborators.
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
