However\, this huge adoption of AI — both for support of human decisions and for completely autonomous decisions — in all aspects of society presents real risks as well as transformative potential. \nIn placing our human trust in such powerful learning and decision-making systems\, there is much to consider to ensure fairness. AI itself isn’t fair or unfair\, but as the human developers\, implementors\, and beneficiaries\, we must understand how to promote fairness in how they are trained and how they operate so that there is no accidental\, unfair bias\, exclusion\, or other negative impact to any person or group of persons. \nJoin us as Tina Lassiter leads a discussion on the ethical implications and considerations of AI. No prior AI expertise is necessary\, as this discussion will focus on the human issues in ensuring fairness in the use of AI\, and everyone is encourage to contribute! \nREGISTER NOW URL:https://www.austintechnologycouncil.org/event/an-ai-discussion-on-fairness-responsibility-bias-and-other-ethical-issues/ LOCATION:Zoom\, Select a Country: CATEGORIES:Community Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.austintechnologycouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/AI-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Austin Forum on Technology &%3B Society":MAILTO:info@austinforum.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220422T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220422T110000 DTSTAMP:20260420T184050 CREATED:20220421T125515Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220421T125605Z UID:10001704-1650621600-1650625200@www.austintechnologycouncil.org SUMMARY:Market Outlook with Dr. Ed Yardeni DESCRIPTION:Please join Venturi Private Wealth in welcoming our guest speaker\, Dr. Edf Yardeni.

DESCRIPTION:Tech is booming even in the midst of a global pandemic. Many tech companies are achieving better-than-ever revenue and profits\, sending tech stocks soaring. Salaries for tech executives and engineers are rising as well which creates a competitive marketplace for top talent. But this prosperity is not shared by all. In tech\, women and people of color are underrepresented and under compensated. For those not in tech careers/companies pressures on rising costs of living squeeze tight margins even more. These disparities can significantly increase inequities for marginalized communities. \nBut all is not lost. With the proper mindset and tools\, the tech community can both continue to achieve AND contribute to the social good. We are here to share ways that companies and individuals can give back. \nIn this discussion\, moderators (and Austin civic/community leaders) Chelsea Collier and Jessica Sager will share programs and avenues to encourage your next steps. We also welcome the opportunities to add ideas and programs to this discussion. So get ready to get creative and help our community leapfrog the possible!
