AI is already shaping decisions that impact our daily life.

When these systems work well, they can increase access, improve efficiency, and create new opportunities. But when fairness and accountability aren’t built in, they can also reinforce existing barriers.

That’s why conversations about AI matter to everyone.

Join us for Civil Rights in the Age of Algorithms on June 17 at 10:00 a.m. as we explore how innovation can advance opportunity while protecting civil rights.
