Delve into the systemic problems beyond deployment failures, including data extraction practices, design decisions, organizational incentives, and corporate culture within technology companies. Learn from the speaker's transition from Big Tech to independent governance work as she demonstrates how these harms accumulate and create disproportionate impacts across different regions. Discover interdisciplinary approaches, particularly through the Ethical AI Alliance's work, that systematically map harm patterns in accessible and actionable ways. Understand the development and implementation of AI harm maps as essential tools for promoting transparency and accountability in AI systems.
