About this Event
Join us for the launch of Princeton Societal AI (PSAI), a new initiative focused on the responsible design and use of artificial intelligence in society’s most critical institutions.
The event will feature talks by three distinguished speakers: journalist and author Brian Merchant; writer Audrey Watters; and Alondra Nelson, Professor of Social Science and Director of the Science, Technology, and Social Values Lab at the Institute for Advanced Study.
Together, they will offer distinct perspectives on how AI is shaping our institutions, our work, and the ways knowledge is created and shared.
Attendees will also have an opportunity to learn more about PSAI’s mission and future work.
