Hosted by Dr. Carmen Saunders Russell 

In Person (UL 30) & Via Zoom (Hyflex) 

Description: Data doesn’t just describe society—it reflects its power dynamics and blind spots, so AI trained on that data can quietly absorb and scale historical bias (race, gender, disability, class) into “automated” decisions 🤖. In this brown bag, we’ll unpack how that inheritance happens and what ethical model training can look like in practice—stronger data governance, bias testing and monitoring, community-informed design, and accountability that goes beyond a checkbox ✅.
