David Gray Widder (he/him) studies how people creating “Artificial Intelligence” systems think about the downstream harms their systems make possible, and the wider cultural, political, and economic logics which shape these thoughts. He is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Digital Life Initiative at Cornell Tech, and earned his PhD from the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University.

Severin Engelmann uses conceptual, qualitative, and quantitative methods to understand how different groups reason about AI prediction, classification, and inference across digital socio-technical systems. He publishes in cross-disciplinary Computer Science conferences such as Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency (FAccT) and Artificial Intelligence, Ethics, and Society (AIES). His work has been covered by media outlets such as TechCrunch.

Susannah Glickman is an assistant professor at Stony Brook University. Her research and teaching focus on the history and political economy of computation and information through the transformations in global American science that occurred at the end of the Cold War. She also writes about risk and uncertainty in other fields (for example, in the history of economics).

Shahrzad Haddadan is a theoretical computer scientist whose interest is primarily in the mathematical analysis of massive and complex data. She received her Ph.D. in Computer Science from Dartmouth College, privileged to be supervised by Prof. Peter Winkler.

Ela Leshem is a legal theorist who teaches and writes about the property and personhood status of human bodies, nation states, animals, fetuses, religious artifacts, venerated objects, and artificial intelligence. Her work has appeared in the Vanderbilt Law Review and Yale Law Journal. Before joining Fordham, she was a fellow at the Senate Judiciary Committee and clerked for Chief Judge David Barron on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.

Lily Hu is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Yale University. Her current projects broadly concern causal theorizing about the social world, with a particular focus on causal inference methodologies in the social sciences, how these various statistical frameworks treat and measure the “causal effect” of social categories such as race, and ultimately, how such methods are seen to back normative claims about racial discrimination and inequalities broadly.
