2nd Annual National Symposium on Equitable AI

2025 Theme: "AI in Practice: Impacts, Risks, and Opportunities"

The Center for Equitable AI & Machine Learning Systems (CEAMLS) at Morgan State University hosts the National Symposium on Equitable AI each year.   

The event brings together technologists, researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders for critical and constructive reflection on artificial intelligence’s past, present, and future, with special attention to issues of equity and racial bias.  

For our 2025 theme, we especially welcome talks and presentations on       

• how AI is currently deployed in practice
