Join us for the launch of the AI Accountability Lab (AIAL)

The official launch of the AI Accountability Lab (AIAL) at Trinity College Dublin, led by Dr. Abeba Birhane, will take place Thursday 28th November from 5-7pm in the O’Reilly Institute, Trinity College Dublin.

The AIAL is dedicated to advancing ground-breaking research to ensure AI technologies are transparent, just, and accountable, with a focus on protecting historically marginalised communities.
