Recent scholarship in AI ethics warns that computing work has treated problematic features of the status quo as fixed, failing to address and even exacerbate deep patterns of injustice and inequality. Acknowledging these critiques, Rediet Abebe and her co-authors ask: what roles, if any, can computing play to support and advance fundamental social change? In her talk, Professor Abebe will articulate four such roles — computing as a diagnostic, formalizer, rebuttal, and synecdoche — through an analysis that considers the opportunities as well as the significant risks inherent in such work. She will then discuss how these insights may be used to support advocacy work aimed at fostering more equitable and just systems.
This event is part of the Program on Data and Governance’s Data Points Lecture Series, sponsored by Porter Wright Morris & Arthur LLP.
