Join HILKE SCHELLMANN, an Emmy award-winning investigative reporter and Assistant Professor of Journalism at New York University, for a reading and a conversation about the rise of, as well as the risks of, artificial intelligence.
As a contributor to The Wall Street Journal and The Guardian, Schellmann writes about holding artificial intelligence (AI) accountable.
