The conversation continued the Burnes Center’s Rebooting Democracy in the Age of AI lecture series and was recorded live on May 16th.
The Equality Machine is a contrarian constructive response to debates on AI, automation, and datafication. The book examines distributive justice and the potential – as well as risks – of digital technology to tackle inequities in our labor markets, media, government, health, family, and intimate relations.
