The Digital Democracy Lab at William & Mary Law is pleased to help coordinate an important conversation, “Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights: One Year Later,” co-hosted by William & Mary (W&M), Data & Society, and the Center for Democracy & Technology.

The “Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights: Making Automated Systems Work for the American People,” was released by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy in October 2022. One year later, we are inviting you to a conversation that will examine the Blueprint’s impacts, and explore its potential to shape future policy-making and legislative action.

The event will open with welcome remarks by Dr. Peggy Agouris, Provost of William & Mary. We are honored that the opening keynote speaker will be Dr. Arati Prabhakar, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). The keynote will be followed by a fireside chat with Dr. Alondra Nelson, former Acting Director of OSTP, Harold F. Linder Professor, Institute for Advanced Study and Distinguished Senior Fellow, Center for American Progress; and Gideon Lichfield, tech journalist and author, Have a Nice Future Podcaster, and former Editor-in-Chief of Wired and MIT Technology Review.

This event will also feature an impressive panel of experts on AI governance, moderated by Alexandra Reeve Givens, President and CEO of Center for Democracy & Technology. Confirmed panelists include two of the Blueprint team of co-authors at OSTP: Dr. Sorelle Friedler, Shibulal Family Associate Professor of Computer Science at Haverford College and former Assistant Director for Data and Democracy at OSTP; and Dr. Suresh Venkatasubramanian, Professor of Data Science and Computer Science, and Director of the Center for Tech Responsibility at Brown University, and former Assistant Director for Science and Justice at OSTP; and Margaret Hu, Taylor Reveley Research Professor and Professor of Law, William & Mary Law School; and Lisa Rice, President and CEO of the National Fair Housing Alliance.
