Artificial Intelligence and Data

Dr. Cheryl Brown, Chair and Associate Professor,
Department of Political Science and Public Administration, UNC Charlotte

The Office of International Programs at UNC Charlotte, in collaboration with Charlotte Country Day School, International House of Charlotte, and the World Affairs Council of Charlotte, annually coordinate the Great Decisions Lecture Series. The lecture series is an opportunity for citizens to meet, discuss and learn about some of the issues facing our world. Each week a local expert from nearby colleges and universities provide additional perspective on the topic of interest and answers questions regarding the information presented in the Foreign Policy Association’s Great Decisions Briefing Book and through the lecture.

Dr. Cheryl Brown, Chair and Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science and Public Administration at UNC Charlotte will discuss both her research and Susan Ariel Aaronson’s article “Artificial Intelligence and Data” explaining how “policymakers in many countries are developing plans and funding research in artificial intelligence (AI). Global growth is slowing, and not surprisingly, many policymakers hope that AI will provide a magic solution. The EU, Brazil, and other Western countries have adopted regulations that grant users greater control over their data and require that firms using AI be transparent about how they use it. Will the U.S. follow suit?
