Are you AI curious as well as AI critical, and ready to collectively dive in and unpack the good, bad, promising, and scary aspects at the intersection of gender and MERL and AI? Join us for the kick-off meeting of the NLP-CoP’s Gender, MERL and AI Working Group on January 29th to further explore ways that researchers and evaluators working on intersectional gender issues are thinking about AI for MERL and the MERL of AI.

Join our first Ethics & Governance Working Group meeting of 2025 on February 6th at 10am EST/3pm BST – on the topic of AI and labour. We’ll be discussing the role of humans in the development of AI models, the impact of this work on the very real humans powering machine learning, and what we can do as development and humanitarian professionals to acknowledge and address the human impact of AI model development.
