About This Event
Profs and Pints Denver presents: “Governing AI,” on debates in Colorado and other states over how to prevent artificial intelligence from being an instrument of harm, with Stefani Langehennig, assistant professor of the practice at the University of Denver, lead director of its Center for Analytics and Innovation with Data, and scholar focused on the intersection of data science, public policy, and law. [Doors open at 5 pm and the talk begins at 6:30.] Artificial intelligence is no longer just a technology news story. It’s also becoming a governance story, with the nation’s state lawmakers scrambling to determine who gets to decide how AI is used, what AI safeguards matter, and the public’s proper role in shaping the rules. Get brought up to speed on state debates over AI with Stefani Langehennig, leader of the U.S. State AI Policy Tracker, a public-facing project that collects and analyzes state AI legislation and studies how AI and state governments affect each other.
