SUMMARY:Webinar: AI\, Surveillance & Filmmaking | Nidhi Sinha
DESCRIPTION:Leading scholars and experts have warned about the increasing threat of surveillance to our autonomy and democracy. Relentless data collection has increased the likelihood of sensitive information being misused\, eroding public trust\, and putting the most vulnerable users at risk. Across the United States\, surveillance is being used to restrict reproductive rights and enforce abortion bans. Facial recognition technology is used at airports around the world to enforce restrictions\, often against individuals from marginalized and targeted groups. Resurgence in cyberattacks\, and global rise of authoritarianism has renewed concerns about privacy and highlighted the urgent need for increased user protection from surveillance technologies. There is a growing number of documentaries and films advocating for greater transparency and accountability for these invasive technologies. \nFor our monthly AI Expert webinar on Thursday\, April 24 at 11a ET\, we have invited Nidhi Sinha to discuss her current project\, “Under Surveillance”\, a documentary about surveillance in San Francisco Bay Area. Join us for a timely conversation with Nidhi on the pervasiveness of surveillance in our everyday lives and the role of films in helping us take back power from those who surveil us. \nRegistration link:  https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/8817428498455/WN_iDbKXgdSSh-AbrDiZFduZw \nHost: Mia Shah-Dand\, Founder – Women in AI Ethics™\, CEO – Lighthouse3 \nSpeaker: Nidhi Sinha\, Filmmaker\, Analyst \n\nSPEAKER BIO: \n  \n \nNidhi Sinha works at the intersection of human rights and technology. Born and raised in the Bay Area\, Nidhi has a degree in Math and Computer Science from NYU. She has been in the center of tech and\, more importantly\, tech culture since a young age. Her own intersection of identities has shaped her understanding of the world. At the center of all of her work is the core question of who is being left out of the conversation and how to bring them in. \nAs a lover of art\, dance\, shapes\, colors\, and trees\, Nidhi’s goal is to help build a world of innovation\, kindness\, and collaboration.
