Seeing What’s Missing: Bringing Responsible AI Research Gaps into Focus Through A Landscape Analysis
About the Pub-Talk
For the past few years, Anna Neumann has been reviewing responsible AI research across major conferences like FAccT, AIES, and CHI. In this talk, she shares her findings – where researchers are focusing their efforts and, more interestingly, what we might be collectively missing. Using a simple framework ‘interactions, implications, and interventions,’ She maps out the landscape and highlights the gaps.
About the speaker
Anna Neumann is a PhD researcher at the Compliant and Accountable Systems Group at RC TRUST, where she examines how AI systems influence societal power structures with a focus on responsible development. She studied Information and Communication Technology at Ruhr-University Bochum and now combines technical expertise with social science perspectives in her research.
Her research focuses on identifying governance implications in AI supply chains through technical audits. She is particularly interested in how different stakeholders influence AI system behaviors and societal impacts, and how we can better measure, audit, and address power imbalances that emerge throughout the complex AI ecosystem.
