This highly interactive session will focus on what we can do, from a content governance perspective, to mitigate the risks AI and ML technologies may pose to user expression online. The workshop will have 4 discussion leads: Anima Anandkumar (NVDIA) , Thiago Oliva (OSB Policy), Nic Suzor (QUT, Oversight Board Member), Jillian York (EFF). The discussion leads will introduce themselves and key question that they want to explore in breakout groups. Each breakout group will report back at the end of the session.
Potential breakout group questions include:
How much should we expect of AI to understand local context, nuance and systemic inequality?
Can AI help develop effective content moderation or appeals systems that work at scale?
How can platforms provide better explanations to users about why their content has been flagged automatically? What would you like to see to understand the confidence and basis of predictions?
This session will help the Oversight Board to expand its knowledge of AI technologies and user impact. Feedback from this session will be integrated into Board learnings as well as planning for RightsCon and other future events.
We're hoping that many efforts and discussions will continue after Mozfest. Share any ideas you already have for how to continue the work from your session.:The insights from this session will factor into the Board's work, and will be shared with Board Members in addition to Nic Suzor. This will also feed into future events, including RightsCon.
How will you deal with varying numbers of participants in your session?:We'll adjust to the number of participants we get - smaller or no breakout groups, using the key questions to organize the session agenda.
