Artificial intelligence & equity

The promise. The price.

The Promise

  • More accessible ways to learn and participate.
  • Less repetitive work, more room for people.
  • New questions that can move equity forward.

The Price

  • Bias can travel from data into decisions.
  • Access is not the same for everyone.
  • Accountability still belongs to people.
