AI BOOST OR BUST?' Syracuse University, June 10, 2025

Jay Cox, Syracuse University; AI BOOST OR BUST?

 "Himmelreich is focused on AI’s use in government and its role in decision-making, as well as AI regulations and policy. He’s co-editor of The Oxford Handbook of AI Governance (Oxford University Press, 2024), which examines the challenges and opportunities at the intersection of AI and governance. His interest in politics, social justice, computation and the digital economy often spark his interdisciplinary approach to research. He’s delved into such topics as killer robots and self-driving cars. With the support of a two-year grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, Himmelreich is working on a book about the philosophy and ethics of data science and good decision-making. “If data science is about supporting decision-making, then you want to make sure the decisions are fair and don’t harm people,” he says."
