Artificial Intelligence & Impacts on Diverse Communities

TheBridge partnered with Facebook and AIandYou.org to bring global diverse AI leaders from tech, academia and research came together in DC for a unique discussion exploring AI and its impact on diverse communities - with all stakeholders, followed by a networking reception. TheBridge has a unique ability to break through silos and convene leaders from our community across tech, policy and politics. Think data scientists to product designers to public policy professionals to academia to Capitol Hill and government employees. We must continue these discussions with all stakeholders. We are thankful to leaders representing BlackinAI, Women in Machine Learning, LatinXinAI for flying in from around the country for this discussion.
