A Discussion on the Social Dilemma with Rebecca Ryan

Have you seen the movie The Social Dilemma?

- If you HAVE seen it, let's talk about it.

- If you HAVE NOT seen it, consider this a kick in the pants to do it! (Yes, it requires a Netflix username and password.)

Resident Futurist and Human Sparkplug (that’s a thing!) Rebecca Ryan will lead the AFI community in important discussions about the movie with a focus on local government’s role in spreading democracy and mitigating discrimination among its citizens.

What you can expect to talk about?

· What should we be thinking about and doing differently to help mitigate some of the disparate impacts that are inherently built into artificial intelligence for our citizens?

· How can local government professionals adjust what we are doing to combat biased algorithms and make sure information is getting to as many citizens as possible in a factual manner?

· Given all of the negative aspects of social media, should local gov be supporting these platforms? What other path can we take to engage our communities?
