What I Learned at the Responsible AI Symposium Underway in DC

We had a great discussion on AI at the National Fair Housing Alliance’s third Responsible AI Symposium, after watching Chris Nolan’s film Look Up Now: AI and the Future of Humanity.

Great to hear from Chris, who is a three-time Emmy Award-winning director; Dr. Malik Yoba, who is an actor, entrepreneur, and founder and CEO of Yoba Development; Dr. Thema Monroe-White, associate professor of artificial intelligence and innovation policy at George Mason University; and Elizabeth Vella Moeller, co-founder of The AI Trust Foundation for Beneficial AI.

They are all working on ways to ensure humans are not left behind in the AI conversation, as well as to protect civil rights.

Dr. Yoba appeared in one of my favorite movies, Cool Runnings. These days, at Yoba Development, he owns “a diversified portfolio company specializing in real estate, education, and media.” It was great to hear how he’s expanding beyond the film industry.

Nolan is exposing how AI is rapidly evolving, Dr. Monroe-White is tracking the research and educating the next generation, and Vella is working with lawmakers on regulation efforts.

The Responsible AI Symposium ends tomorrow. The panels are being hosted at the Hilton near the Wharf.

Single-day registration is $150. Click here to register.

My biggest takeaway from this panel is what I already started to recognize a few years ago. If we aren’t paying attention to AI and technology, we will be left behind, or even worse, left out completely.
