Whose Future?: AI and Bias, A Roundtable Event

Tue, January 27, 2026 • 4:30pm - 6:00pm (1h 30m) • Weitz 236

Technology companies are trying to sell us on a future where generative AI tools manage everything, from our work lives to our social interactions. But the hype around AI overlooks the many social and ethical issues that this technology raises. If we want to decide what future we want to live in, we need to explore the issues that fall outside the AI hype, so we can each make informed decisions about how AI should fit into our lives.

Our second event focuses on the problem of AI and Bias. Three Carleton faculty members will discuss the ways their discipline helps them to understand the persistent issues of bias in AI technologies. Then, we’ll turn the evening over to small group discussions where faculty, staff, and students can share their points of view.

Carleton students, faculty, and staff are all welcome!

Refreshments will be served!

Featured Speakers:

Claudio Gómez-Gonzáles, Assistant Professor of Mathematics

Sneha Narayan, Assistant Professor of Computer Science

Alfred Montero, Director of Public Policy and Frank B. Kellogg Professor of Political Science
