Join Dr. Tom Yeh from the University of Colorado to talk about educational initiatives and after-school programs and camps that claim to teach children the technical skills to use and program artificial intelligence while assuming they'll learn about the ethics of what they're doing elsewhere. Dr. Yeh will discuss projects that he and his students have developed to integrate AI ethics into existing K-12 and college-level classes.

Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing work, including what it means for cooperative work to be supported by computers. The increased use of AI in CSCW can lead to many advantages, including increased productivity and efficiency, but it can also include several potential ethical trade-offs, such as invasions of privacy, loss of autonomy, and job displacement. This workshop will explore the ethical dimensions of AI in CSCW, building on Good Systems, a UT Grand Challenge. Specifically, the first half of the workshop will focus on the need to design AI to work for all users and to avoid bias through the use of universal design as well as the need for AI and CSCW researchers to interact with policy and legal experts to work together to ensure that AI will be developed in an ethical manner with sufficient consideration of its societal implications, and also that AI will be regulated and legislated in ways that will maximize its benefits to all people.
