Disrupting Data Injustice With Renée Cummings
AI is becoming part of everyday life, but at what cost? Michigan Auto Law and LaFleur Marketing hosted a discussion titled Disrupting Data Injustice where AI ethicist and criminologist Renee Cummings explored data injustice and artificial intelligence within our current digital landscape on February 16, 2023.
Today, companies, government agencies, and other community stakeholders are relying on predictive analytics and algorithms when they make decisions and create policies. But when healthcare providers, insurance adjusters, banks, and law enforcement agencies gain efficiency from AI, are they denying people the opportunities and help they deserve?
“We’ve got to ensure algorithms are not eliminating people from receiving opportunities, resources and the access they need to thrive. If people are becoming lost in the data, then we are undermining a resilient, sustainable AI future.”
-Renée Cummings
