Introducing the A.I. & Economic Justice Survey

The ABA’s Civil Rights and Social Justice Section is proud to announce the release of its A.I. & Economic Justice Survey, a first-of-its-kind ABA research survey designed to identify the ways that A.I. and automation are impacting low-income and marginalized populations. Please review the ABA’s A.I. & Economic Justice webinar tutorial to learn how this survey will inform future ABA training materials and policy projects involving A.I. and automation and how you can take the survey yourself. This webinar includes introductory remarks by senior ABA members, a walk-through of the survey, and an open Q&A with the A.I. & Economic Justice team. For more information about this project and ways to get involved, contact us at [email protected]. Visit the project webpage at ambar.org/ai.
