This conversation will explore the challenges and opportunities young changemakers face, practical steps to build impactful careers in tech, and ways to drive ethical innovation and inclusivity.

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has reshaped industries, economies, and societies worldwide. However, these advancements often disproportionately affect marginalized communities, who face both opportunities and risks from AI technologies. In this livestream, we will explore the intersection of AI and marginalized communities, highlighting the challenges while advocating for technological advancement that is designed for inclusivity, equity, and justice.

Last night's discussion moderated by Camille François, and featuring Eli Pariser and Audrey Tang, explored proposals for democratizing and safeguarding our digital environment. Thank you, Columbia World Projects, for hosting. All Tech Is Human was a proud co-sponsor, alongside The Data Science Institute at Columbia University and the Columbia Institute of Global Politics. A recording of the talk will be available next week!

We need to make more progress around child safety, but it often runs headfirst into privacy concerns. In our new paper, Balancing Privacy and Child Safety in Encrypted Environments, we recommend ways to get through the current impasse: •Promote user-driven reporting tools and prevention efforts •Leverage human rights law as a framework for resolution •Shift perspective and initial steps •Leverage lived experiences and including diverse voices •Address upstream choices and human vulnerabilities •Create a new framework for dialogue and exchange Ultimately, we believe that the policy stalemate between privacy and safety is resolvable, but it requires a human rights-based approach, changing perspectives, and a willingness to engage in complex, nuanced conversations.
