Please join us for a unique public program hosted by the NetGain Partnership that will explore the role of artists in critically examining the social impacts of artificial intelligence and related technologies, and highlight how the arts can help us refigure the future. It will publically launch REFRESH, a new initiative that supports the work of women, both transgender and cisgender, especially women of color, LGBTQ+ artists, and disabled artists, with the aim of fostering creation of more diverse work in the field of art, science, and technology.

A panel discussion will feature leaders from the NetGain Partnership including:

Alondra Nelson, President, Social Science Research Council, and Professor of Sociology, Columbia University, will moderate the panel.
