SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:'Auditing AI' Book Launch & Reception
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Ethics\, Society\, and Computing\, is delighted to invite you to celebrate the book launch of Auditing AI with authors Christian Sandvig\, Ellery Biddle\, and Danae Metaxa! \n\nTime: Nov. 9\, 4 pm – 5 pm (Authors Discussion)\, 5 pm -7 pm (Reception with appetizers\, beer and wine)\n\nLocation: Cahoots Event Space (206 E Huron St)\n\nPlease RSVP by Thursday\, Nov 5: https://tinyurl.com/2wa4r3up\n\n If you have not RSVP'd by November 5th\, please join us anyways. \n\nAbout the book:\n\nHow tech companies\, journalists\, and policymakers can prevent AI decision-making from going wrong.\n\nOur lives are increasingly governed by automated systems influencing everything from medical care to policing to employment opportunities\, but researchers and investigative journalists have proven that AI systems regularly get things wrong.\n\nAuditing AI is a first-of-its-kind exploration of why and how to audit artificial intelligence systems. It offers a simple roadmap for using AI audits to make product and policy changes that benefit companies and the public alike. The book aims to convince readers that AI systems should be subject to robust audits to protect all of us from the dangers of these systems. Readers will come away with an understanding of what an AI audit is\, why AI audits are important\, key components of an audit that follows best practices\, how to interpret an audit\, and the available choices to act on an audit’s results.\n\nThe book is organized around canonical examples: from AI-powered drones mistakenly targeting civilians in conflict areas to false arrests triggered by facial recognition systems that misidentified people with dark skin tones to HR hiring software that prefers men. It explains these definitive cases of AI decision-making gone wrong and then highlights specific audits that have led to concrete changes in government policy and corporate practice.\n\nAbout the ESC:\nThe Center for Ethics\, Society\, and Computing (ESC – pronounced “escape”) is dedicated to intervening when digital media and computing technologies reproduce inequality\, exclusion\, corruption\, deception\, racism\, or sexism. ESC is generously supported by the School of Information\; the Center for Political Studies at the Institute for Social Research\; and the Department of Communication & Media in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts at the University of Michigan.
