Event: Intersectionalities of Automated Decision Making and Race/Ethnicity
Author Loren Dela Cruz
Date 27 October 2021
Join us for a critical dialogue with Assoc. Prof Safiya Noble, Prof Bronwyn Carlson and Karaitiana Taiuru, hosted by the ADM+S Centre’s Social Services Focus Area.
Automated decision making (ADM) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are rapidly expanding into all aspects of our lives and radically reshaping our experiences of ourselves as well as our relations with one another, governmental entities, and corporations. Often framed as efficient, accurate and objective, these technologies can have widely disparate impacts across populations and societies, often exacerbating pre-existing inequalities, discrimination, and disadvantage. This event is part of a series of critical engagements with the various ways ADM/AI intersect with race/ethnicity, gender/sex, class, dis/ability, and space.
