Many algorithmic accountability bills with broad support — and the Biden administration’s own AI Bill of Rights — could run afoul of these potential trade rules. <br class=""><br class="">With far-reaching new “digital trade” agreements being negotiated this year, this panel at the ACM FAccT Conference in Chicago features leading experts in both trade policy and AI policy. The session is being broadcast for free online via Zoom. <a href="https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_OULTta2tQuWDn6F6drB03g" class="">RSVP here for login in details.</a> </div><div class="content col-md-offset-2"><br class=""></div><div class="content col-md-offset-2">Sponsored by the Trade Justice Education Fund. </div></div><br class=""><br class=""><div class=""><br class=""><br class=""><br class="">
