Can AI be Equitable?

<p>AI is everywhere. While some are rushing to integrate AI into every aspect of life, others are rejecting the technology altogether despite unknowingly already using AI. This workshop with Bushra Tasneem takes a different approach: critical engagement for justice. Through real-world case studies and a hands-on algorithmic auditing exercise, participants will learn a practical framework for evaluating AI systems and asking the questions that matter: What data trained it? Who built it? Who is affected by it? And who is accountable when it fails? You&#8217;ll leave with tools to approach AI with curiosity, scrutiny, and a deeper understanding of how these systems shape the world around us.</p> <p>Bushra holds a Master of Engineering in Computer Science from Cornell University and a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and Computer Science from Smith College. She is passionate about using technology to bridge inequality and drive social impact. She works as a data engineer and cares deeply about feminist approaches to justice.</p>
