Event Advisory: What’s at stake in the 2024 election: The Promise and Perils of AI
What: On September 9 and 10, as part of Brooking’s Election ’24: Issues at Stake, the Brookings Institution and Spelman College will convene a series of discussions on the issues raised by the increasing adoption and implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Policymakers must look at new policies to safeguard Americans, mitigate risks, and unlock the opportunities that AI presents.
The first day of the event (September 9th) will feature remarks by Spelman College President Helene Gayle, followed by a fireside chat between Brookings President Cecilia Rouse and AI expert and former White House official Alondra Nelson. The second day (September 10th) will focus on the policy implications of AI, beginning with a framing keynote by Brookings Senior Fellow, Nicol Turner Lee. It will be followed by a panel on the risks of AI in disinformation, racial bias, and workforce displacement and a second panel assessing its possible benefits through increased innovation, efficiency, and opportunity. For more information on all panelists, please visit the event’s registration page.
AI is transforming nearly every aspect of society, from education and work to health care and finance. With its rapid adoption, there is still limited understanding of its short- and long-term effects on the workforce, and how policymakers can best support current workers while also preparing young professionals to succeed in a more AI-driven economy. How the next administration and Congress address both the promises and risks of AI will significantly impact not only the U.S. economy and various industries, but also businesses and citizens across the country including those in Georgia and Atlanta, as an emerging center for technology.

Day One: Monday, September 9, 2024, from 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM EDT; a reception to follow starting at 8:30 PM EDT.
