Part 2: Navigating AI Ethics: Decision-Making and Community Guardrails
This session pivots to the critical guardrails of AI. We will delve into ethical considerations – including privacy, bias, and compliance – specifically through the lens of digital dignity and stigma reduction in rural and underserved communities. Using a structured decision-making framework, participants will evaluate when to deploy AI and develop a roadmap for piloting these tools within their own organizations.
By the end of session 2, participants will be able to:
- Recognize key ethical considerations before integrating AI into
prevention practice, with a focus on privacy, compliance, and digital dignity. - Analyze the risks of algorithmic bias to ensure stigma reduction in communications tailored for rural and underserved communities.
- Apply a decision-making framework to determine the appropriateness of AI tools for specific community-led prevention
tasks. - Describe practical next steps for piloting and evaluating AI applications within their own organizations and local programs.
