Tethics & Chill [NYC Breakfast]: Leveraging AI for democracy w/ NYU's Zeve Sanderson and Jigsaw's Beth Goldberg

​We're excited to host Zeve Sanderson, the Executive Director of the NYU Center for Social Media & Politics, for our next Tethics & Chill breakfast event. At NYU, he leads a research center that works to strengthen democracy that advances evidence-based public policy and trains the next generation of scholars. His own research topics have included genAI, search engines, social media, and content moderation.

​Zeve will be in conversation with Beth Goldberg, the Head of Research & Development at Jigsaw, an interdisciplinary Google unit that explores threats to open societies.

​​​Please join Zeve and Beth for an in-person installment of Tethics & Chill in Soho. Over breakfast on Wednesday, January 15, we'll discuss:

• ​Discussion of new research on leveraging generative AI to support democratic politics, and protecting against the impacts of generative AI on elections

• ​What are some lessons learned from social media trust & safety work that can be applied to ensuring safe and responsible development of AI systems?

• ​Reflections on building cross-sector partnerships across industry, policymakers, and civil society to align research with real-world impact

​​We'll get started by 9:15am and have a chance to mingle with friends after hearing from Zeve and Beth.

​​​Stay tethical,

​​​Zoe & Farhan
