Join us for the SOF Discussion Reception: Building a Better Future: Addressing Bias in Artificial Intelligence featuring Rumman Chowdhury, Director, Machine Learning Ethics, Transparency, and Accountability at Twitter; Alex Hanna, Senior Research Scientist, Ethical AI at Google; and Rob Reich, Professor of Political Science at Stanford University; for a conversation about how bias can find its way into the development of artificial intelligence and machine learning and what can be done to mitigate or eliminate that risk. The panel will discuss the perilous effects of bias in algorithms and why it is so important to ensure that automated processes work fairly for everyone.

Action and Impact: Policy at the Speed of Tech

Celebrate the launch of the Aspen Policy Academy with a tech policy event in San Francisco.

Socrates San Francisco – Is technology the new religion?

As our unified social values fragment and organized religion falls to the lowest levels of participation on record, people are seeking meaning. Belief in biohacking and the singularity now resemble tenets of a new faith. Since before the advent of the printing press and the Gutenberg Bible, technology and religion have had a complex and mutually beneficial relationship. While technology in the past augmented religion, join us as we ponder whether technology has itself become a new religion.
