This Hack the Future event will take place in the historic rock n’ roll city of Cleveland, Ohio. Cleveland embodies the socio-cultural complexities that must be built into the foundation of all AI research, education, and adoption efforts. The area’s ongoing revitalization represents some of the best of American resilience and makes Cleveland a perfect microcosm to explore the equitable adoption of AI and its potential to remedy or exacerbate socioeconomic inequities, particularly in communities that are historically disadvantaged.

On Thursday, March 21, at Hack the Future: Cleveland, participants will test generative LLMs for bias and potential harms through challenges curated around real world problems and issues. The second day will feature panels focused on building laws and navigating the interesting world around policy on the national AI conversation, and will include an opening keynote from our partners at Case Western Reserve University.

Students who participated in the AI Skills Building exercise will join 100+ community members for Hack the Future: Cleveland. They will pilot the long-term development plan and the new training and testing platform for AI testing, which will help establish Cleveland as a central hub of equitable development of AI. The students will take the knowledge and tools they acquire in Cleveland back to their own communities to continue the advancement of AI training and testing. See previous success stories from SeedAI events at DEFCON and in Tulsa.

On Friday, March 22, the Journal of Law, Technology and the Internet will explore how AI is reshaping many legal fields from copyright, to drug testing, to national security – not to mention lawyers using ChatGPT to write their court filings! Join us for Coding the Law: The Convergence of AI and the Law on Friday morning.
