Research Privacy and Ethics in the Age of AI: A Working Session with Kate Towsey
June 11, 10:00 a.m. to Noon, San Francisco
AI is transforming how research is done, but the ethics and privacy frameworks that should govern these changes are largely absent from the conversation. How do we take care of participants, their data, and ourselves as we build AI into our research systems? Few people are talking about this important topic. We want to change that.
In this free, two-hour working session, facilitated by the founder of The ResearchOps Review and author of Research That Scales, Kate Towsey, you’ll gather with research and ResearchOps professionals to map the biggest privacy and ethics challenges we should be considering.
The information shared will be used to produce an infographic illustrating what we should all, as research professionals, be thinking about. If you take part, you’ll be offered the opportunity to be credited as a contributor. The session will operate under the Chatham House Rule, and anything you share will be anonymised.
Note: This is an in-person event in San Francisco, United States. If you’re not able to attend in person, please don’t register. This session won’t be recorded. This isn’t a workshop or instructive session, but rather an opportunity to learn collaboratively.
