Auditing AI at the Penn Bookstore

​How can we prevent AI decision-making from going wrong?

​Join Auditing AI co-authors Danaé Metaxa and Ellery Roberts Biddle for a brief reading and an interactive discussion of the real-world harms caused by AI systems, moderated by Katie Malone of Technical.ly.

​Auditing AI explores cases ranging from fatal errors by AI-powered military drones to biased hiring algorithms, making the case for rigorous, independent audits that protect the public.

​Following the reading, we'll take a closer look at Philadelphia's ban on rent-fixing algorithms and the court challenge testing it. Together, we'll discuss practical ways researchers, policymakers, and the public can work to protect communities from the harms of AI systems.

​Speakers:

• ​Danaé Metaxa, Raj & Neera Singh Assistant Professor of Computer & Information Science, University of Pennsylvania

• ​Ellery Roberts Biddle, Philadelphia-based author and tech critic

• ​Katie Malone, National Editor at Technical.ly, moderator

​This event is free and open to the public. The Penn Bookstore events space is on the second floor, next to the cafe, and is accessible by elevator.
