Thank you, Skyler Wang, for an inspiring talk on how a social-centered #AI framework could steer AI development toward more equitable and sustainable outcomes.

Had a great time speaking with researchers at the UN Development’s Human Development office last week in NYC about my work on ‘social-centered AI.’ We also discussed the possibilities and constraints of high-impact AI artifacts in ameliorating global developmental issues. Thanks for having me! 🇺🇳

My first-ever class at UC Berkeley Sociology was "Classical Theory" with Michael Burawoy. Today, I still regard him as one of the best teachers I've ever had. His ability to inspire and connect is second to none. You will be so missed; TY for everything you have given to Sociology. 🤍
