Opportunities in the Duke Initiative for Science & Society

Post-Baccalaureate Fellowship in Ethical AI

This Post-Baccalaureate Fellow will serve as a full-time in-residence fellow at the Duke Initiative for Science & Society, working under the direction of Dr. Nita Farahany, the Robinson O. Everett Distinguished Professor of Law & Philosophy at Duke University, and Director of the Duke Initiative for Science & Society. The fellow will join a collaborative interdisciplinary research team focused on the ethical design and analysis of AI and computational systems. The fellow will have the opportunity to research and develop manuscripts concerning the ethical, legal, and social implications of AI; assist in the creation of educational modules based on AI ethics case studies; and participate in ethics consultations to advise AI researchers. This will include exploring issues of algorithmic bias, discrimination, transparency, innovation, implications for workforce skilling, and distributional concerns in the development and deployment of artificial intelligence and machine learning. While several technological solutions have (and will be developed) over time, there is still little consistency across societies and cultures in addressing the societal implications of AI.
