Generative AI is all the buzz, with individuals across disciplines speculating about its potential benefits and costs. This type of speculation becomes particularly pressing when the interests of already vulnerable populations are implicated. The Duke Law Center on Law, Race & Policy (CLRP) therefore is hosting the AI and Marginalized Groups Symposium focused on the potential effects of generative artificial intelligence (“AI”) on marginalized groups. The symposium is a culmination of a series of events, beginning with a panel held in October 2023. The symposium is a continuation of October’s discussion and will provide an opportunity for our panelists and others to contribute their works related to the topic. The symposium features a diverse and interdisciplinary panel of scholars and in-field experts, touching on the intersection between AI and journalism, criminal justice, criminal sentencing, employment, entertainment, immigration, media, privacy, and policing, among other areas. The symposium is open to students, faculty, and members of the Duke University community and is sponsored by Duke Law’s Center on Law, Race & Policy and the Duke University Social Science Research Institute (SSRI) Grant Program.
