The Responsible AI Workshop Series
This interactive workshop goes beyond buzzwords to explore what fairness in AI really means in practice. Through mini-cases, small-group debates, and hands-on worksheet activities, participants will unpack multiple definitions of algorithmic fairness and apply them to real-world domains. Rather than looking for one “true” answer, we’ll surface the trade-offs, values, and power dynamics behind fairness choices. Expect lots of discussion, open questions, and collaborative exploration.
This workshop is brought to you by the Responsible AI Practice as part of the RAI Workshop Series.
