17 Rooms: Supporting ‘big ideas’ for people and planet
In 2023, the Center for Technology Innovation (CTI) at Brookings launched the AI Equity Lab, an interdisciplinary, cross-sector research and policy project aimed at finding solutions that lead to more inclusive artificial intelligence. Since its inception, the AI Equity Lab has engaged more than 60 distinguished experts who understand the intersection between AI and society to collaboratively assess and determine the opportunities and risks AI presents in critical areas, including education, health care, journalism, and criminal justice.
On December 9, the Center for Technology Innovation at Brookings hosted an event with CTI Director and AI Equity Lab co-chair Nicol Turner Lee, who provided an update on the work of the Lab and moderated a panel of experts who shared more about their findings and discussed why the framing of equity in human-centered AI is critical to advancing more democratized and ethical models.
