Tigers for Inclusion, Diversity, and Ethics Conference

TIDE Conference

When A.I. Collides with Ethics and What to Do About It

Monday, April 8 – Thursday, April 11, 2024

The Rutland Institute's TIDE Conference seeks to inform participants of ethical dilemmas created by the intersection of diversity and inclusion as it relates to specific academic disciplines and to move participants to address those dilemmas. The conference will critically examine how ethics and diversity intersect, diverge, and create a more just society and a university culture that promotes equity and respect.
