Business Equity for Indy: Centering People in Technology Revolutions

As organizations raced to understand how to use generative AI beginning in 2022, many overlooked an equally important question: at what cost? In the rush to innovate, discussions about fairness, inclusion, and long-term social impact often took a back seat.

“Centering People in Technology Revolutions” brings together leading computer scientists, scholars, and journalists who have been studying the intersection of AI, ethics, and inclusion for over a decade. This dynamic panel invites participants into an engaging conversation about how to shape technological change that truly benefits everyone.

Join us to reflect, question, and reimagine what responsible innovation looks like when people, not just progress, are at the center.

Learning Objectives

Participants will:

• Identify the full range of ethical challenges posed by AI.
• Gain awareness of the broad array of scholars working to build more inclusive and representative systems.
• Rethink approaches to adopting AI in ways that strengthen rather than threaten fairness and participation in the workforce
