    Webinar, NY

AI and algorithmic decision systems impact every sphere of life, including in access to housing and public benefits. In this webinar, expert speakers and advocates will share what attorneys need to know about algorithmic decision systems that can curtail access to rental housing and homeownership, accelerate evictions, and increase surveillance and criminalization of people living in public housing.

Our guest experts will discuss the increasing reliance of state and federal social services agencies on automated fraud detection systems, eligibility screening and assessment tools, and benefits determinations systems that disproportionately harm disabled and elderly people. Experts will describe the range of tools in use, the discriminatory impact they can have, and the strategies used to challenge discrimination and bias in litigation, policymaking, and advocacy.


This webinar is part five of six in our latest webinar series, AI and the Legal Profession: Navigating Opportunities and Challenges. Please visit the series webpage at ambar.org/ai-series for additional information.
