The research of Betty Li Hou, who presented an hour-long seminar as part of The New York Academy of Sciences’ Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Society Lecture series, examined the ethical impacts that AI systems can have on societies, and how machine learning, philosophy, sociology, and law should all come together in the development of these systems.

“AI doesn’t exist independently from these other disciplines and so AI research in many ways needs to consider these dimensions, otherwise we’re only looking at one piece of the picture,” said Hou.
