The Political Theory of Algorithms: Josh Simons and Lily Hu

Today at 11am PST/2pm EST/7pm UK:
“The Political Theory of Algorithms”: We are delighted to resume our collaboration with the wonderful folks at Boston Review. This is the first of three events we are co-hosting with them this spring (for details of the other two, see here).

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are reshaping our world. Powerful prediction tools are changing how decisions are made in key legal, medical, and consumer spheres, narrowing opportunities for the exercise of judgment, empathy, and creativity. How, then, are we to put democracy at the heart of AI governance?

You can find out more about Josh Simons here and his new book, Algorithms for the People, here.

You can read Yale philosopher Lily Hu’s fantastic essay for Boston Review, “Race, Policing, and the Limits of Social Science”, here. Her Twitter account is here.
