AHH - final panels of the day! @s010n leading this amazing group, including @timnitGebru who was generous enough to join us after such an insanely hectic week! The first of these panels will be focusing on concrete strategies to mitigate/reflect on broader impacts of research.

Today is the day! I’m awake far too early for my liking but it’s worth it! If you’re attending NeurIPS consider dropping by our workshop, and tweet about it using #ImpactsOfAI

INCREDIBLE final comments from @annaeveryday on how we focus too much on the disadvantaged rather than those who are benefiting as a way to shift and change and reconsider what we are doing.

Then, I'll chair two panels back-to-back. One discussion with @annaeveryday, @nunuska, @vinayprabhu, @undersequoias & Sherry, an organizer and Mturk worker. We'll talk about how AI hurts people & the changes the field needs to make to adapt our default thinking about this.

@bhecht coming in with 🔥 “It was alarming to see some uninformed perspectives on the impact statements coming from even well established ML experts and leaders. Frankly, it’s an embarrassment to the field and speaks very poorly about our intellectual rigor.”
