Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, Harvard University
Ethics and Governance of AI: Algorithms and Justice
We engage directly with government officials (including through the Center’s AGTech Forum) to facilitate learning and idea-sharing around emerging AI issues. We are developing a database of currently in-use risk assessment tools to enable comparisons and empower stakeholders to make informed decisions. We write and publish on topics ranging from interpretability and explain ability of algorithmic decisions, to human rights implications of artificial intelligence, to best practices for governments considering adoption of these technologies. And we build courses, education materials, clinical projects, and teaching curricula to help train future generations of lawyers to respond to the legal, policy, regulatory, ethical, and social challenges presented by AI.
