The Responsible AI Workshop Series
Join us for an interactive workshop exploring the growing role of generative AI as it gradually replaces traditional search engines. The session will begin with a presentation of a new paper that offers a systematic audit of how AI systems perform in real-world information-seeking tasks—and what’s at stake as more users rely on them for everyday decision-making.
Following the presentation, participate in a critical discussion with Dr. Dudy on the paper’s implications, setting the stage for a broader conversation. Participants will then break into working groups to explore key challenges and opportunities related to the design, ethics, and policy of AI-powered search. The workshop aims to foster dialogue and generate actionable insights to support informed, equitable use of generative AI in high-impact domains.
Why attend?
▷ Gain early access to cutting-edge research on generative AI and its real-world performance in information-seeking.
▷ Participate in a critical discussion on the future of AI-driven decision-making tools.
▷ Contribute to working sessions that explore ethical, technical, and policy considerations of AI search systems.
▷ Collaborate with peers and experts to shape practical recommendations for responsible AI use.
▷ Leave with a deeper understanding of the societal impacts—and potential safeguards—of generative AI in everyday life
This workshop is brought to you by the Responsible AI Practice @ The Institute for Experiential AI as part of the RAI Workshop Series.
