ALIGN Webinar #6 Evan Hadfield on AI and Democracy
In the sixth episode of ALIGN webinar series, we invite Evan Hadfield, Projects Director of the Collective Intelligence Project (CIP) and a specialist in Human Computation.
Before joining the CIP, Evan has worked at Twitter and Clara Labs as an engineer and a human computation data analyst. As an Projects Lead, Evan focuses on research and development of decision-making technologies, processes, and institutions that expand a group’s capacity to construct and cooperate towards shared goals.
Collective Intelligence attempts to optimize all elements of “transformative technology trilemma”: participation, progress, and safety, effectively overcoming problems and limitations seen in capitalist acceleration, authoritarian technocracy, and shared stagnation
We will hear from Evan about ways to democratize AI. Questions that would be explored include “What approach has/will Collective Intelligence Project taken/take to understand conflicting values of diverse groups of people?”, “How we can remake technology institutions to become “collectively intelligent”?”, and “What are challenges and opportunities of expanding the ethos of Collective Intelligence to a larger parts of the world?”. The talk will be valuable not only for the future of AI ethics but also for reconsidering the relationship between technology and democracy.
Date: Friday, 28 June 2024 10:00 am-11:00 am (JST) = Thursday, 27th 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm (PDT)
The talk (including the discussion part) will be recorded and may be posted on ALIGN’s Youtube Channel.
