Abstract

Throughout history, data has been a weapon of truth and power, and AI is on course to become the most powerful weapon yet. What can we learn from the history of data to help us prepare for and shape a responsible AI-driven future?

Join this fireside chat with Chris Wiggins, Chief Data Scientist at The New York Times and Professor of Applied Mathematics at Columbia University, where we will trace the historical evolution of data to glean insights into the ethical challenges and opportunities AI presents.

Wiggins, author of the books “How Data Happened” and “Data Science in Context” will share his thoughts on the role of AI leaders and data science practitioners in ensuring responsible AI, what we can expect of AI regulation, and how we can learn from the ethical data challenges of the past.
