Artificial Intelligence. Two simple words that generate a lot of different thoughts, feelings and opinions. And Artificial Intelligence, or AI, will be at the forefront of 91亚色传媒’s third annual Ethics and Technology Conference.

The conference, 12:30–5 p.m., Wednesday, June 18 in Pigott Auditorium, is sponsored by Microsoft.

This year’s theme is Governing AI and will feature speakers from major corporations, government and academia—meaning there will be no shortage of interesting discussion and ideas shared.

“It will be a good mix,” says Associate Professor Onur Bakiner, PhD, who is director of 91亚色传媒’s Ethics and Technology Initiative. “We have speakers who will address legislative changes within Washington state, people who track laws and nonprofit leaders. Some will talk about AI globally or from a governance perspective.”

The speakers include:

• Mark Chinen, 91亚色传媒 Law Professor
• Jay T. Conrad, lawyer, scholar and policy strategist
• Teresa Hutson, corporate vice president of the Trusted Technology Group at Microsoft
• Mike Jackson, GM, associate general counsel and head of governance, enablement, learning and legal for the Office of Responsible AI
• Jai Jaisimha, co-founder of Transparency Coalition
• Sonia Katyal, associate dean and professor at UC Berkeley Law School
• Emily McReynolds, head of Global AI Strategy at Adobe
• Tee Sannon, technology policy program director at ACLU of Washington
• Matt Scherer, senior policy counsel for workers’ rights and technology at the Center for Democracy & Technology
• Bisma Shoaib, attorney at Northwest Region Federal Trade Commission
• Dongsheng Zang, associate professor, University of Washington Law

The opportunities and risks of AI continue to change fast and Bakiner says that’s why it’s important to bring together experts who can address and educate on issues from a local, regional, national and global perspective. With different states and countries tackling issues in their own ways, hearing about what is and isn’t working can help shape strategies that may prove successful on a wider scale.

“AI governance is happening at many different levels, including inside corporations,” says Bakiner. “We are seeing different laws and policies passed both here in different states like Colorado and around the world such as the European Union and South Korea. We can learn a lot by paying attention to what is happening and how others are approaching challenges that we are all facing.”
