Artificial Intelligence and the Economy: Charting a Path for Responsible and Inclusive AI
Virtual Conference April 27, 2022
The U.S. Department of Commerce and National Institute of Standards and Technology, FinRegLab, and the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI), hosted a virtual conference, “Artificial Intelligence and the Economy: Charting a Path for Responsible and Inclusive AI,” on April 27, 2022.
This symposium brought together leaders from government, industry, civil society, and academia to explore potential opportunities and challenges posed by artificial intelligence and machine learning deployment across different economic sectors, with a particular focus on financial services and healthcare.
The event was designed to address how these technologies relate to ensuring inclusive economic growth, supporting diversity and financial inclusion, and mitigating risks such as bias and unfairness. It featured presenters and panelists on the cutting edge of researching fairness and explainability in AI, as well as those working to develop policies and frameworks to evaluate and assess the goals of improving the trustworthiness, inclusiveness, and equity of AI deployment.
