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.
