Perspectives in A.I. Seminar: 
Prof. Dr. Susan Ariel Aaronson, to talk about “Data Disquiet: How Policymakers Have Failed to Effectively Govern Data for Generative AI

Main theme discussed in this Seminar:

AI chatbots have become where people seek information and create new information. But many systems are proprietary and opaque, so outsiders can’t replicate and build trust in these systems. In this setting, policymakers and the public need to think carefully and systemically about their policy choices. Prof. Susan will discuss governance issues that arise in such a context.
