Abstract

In this talk, Dr. Stypińska will present findings from her AGEAI research on AI ageism, supported by empirical data from Germany, Spain, Great Britain, Poland, and the Netherlands. She will also reflect on how the social sciences can provide a deeper and more systematic understanding of algorithmic inequalities, extending beyond the study of AI bias.
