Diana's talk on support chatbots as emerging tools for domestic violence (DV) survivors, provides practical guidance for designing AI systems resilient to insider threats.

Computational Methods to Analyze and Improve Legislative Proposals Related to AI

A collaboration between the Center for TechResponsibility (CNTR) at Brown University and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)

Brown CS faculty members Serena Booth and Suresh Venkatasubramanian have just been appointed to co-chair the AI and Algorithms Subcommittee, whose recent work includes responses to government RFIs, techbriefs, and statements on chatbot use.

The Conference on Language Modeling (COLM), held from October 7–10th in Montreal, Canada, is an academic venue focused on studying, improving, and critiquing the field of language modelling. This year, COLM brought together over a thousand researchers from around the world. We'll be sharing reflections by CNTR researchers who attended COLM.

Researchers at Brown University found that AI chatbots routinely violate core mental health ethics standards, underscoring the need for legal standards and oversight as use of these tools increases.

Suresh Venkatasubramanian, Director of the Center for Technological Responsibility, Re-imagination, and Redesign (CNTR), contributes to a panel of experts and weighs in on how AI is making lives more efficient and more fun in small but meaningful ways.

CNTR Director Suresh Venkatasubramanian recently co-authored a recent National Academies rapid expert consultation on AI use by state and local governments, urging state and local leaders to avoid extreme hype about AI, both its promise and dangers, and instead to use a careful, experimental approach.

Suresh Venkatasubramanian, Director of the Center for Technological Responsibility, Re-imagination, and Redesign and Professor of Computer Science and Data Science recently published an opinion piece in Bulletin of the Atomic Scientist.

The Center for Technological Responsibility, Re-imagination, and Redesign (CNTR)’s Tech & Policy Summer School brings together a new generation of technology policymakers to bridge the gap between technical experts and lawmakers.
