Professor Chris Chambers Goodman recently delivered several presentations on the topic of artificial intelligence technologies, implications, and impacts.
On March 19, 2026, Professor Goodman presented "Nevertheless She Persisted: Gender Bias in the Age of Gen-AI" for a webinar conducted by the Beverly Hills Bar Association. The webinar had almost 100 participants online in real time as well as several hundred registered to receive the recording. Professor Goodman talked about some general notions of gender bias in the legal profession, the origins of such bias in machine learning systems, and strategies for interrupting these biases in the workplace.
On February 5, 2026, Professor Goodman presented "Artificial intelligence and the Constitution: Implications for Equal Protection and Due Process" for a faculty workshop at St. Mary's University School of Law. Professor Goodman addressed some of the dangers of artificial intelligence technologies, raising constitutional concerns such as equal protection and due process. She discussed her recent research on employment discrimination in the use of generative artificial intelligence technologies, as well as the procedural due process implications of government uses of these technologies.
On November 21, 2025, Professor Goodman presented "Disparate Impacts of Algorithmic Bias on Primary and Secondary Educational Opportunities" for the European University Institute conference on understanding and addressing digital inequalities held in Florence, Italy. The presentation focused on artificial intelligence technologies used in education system. Professor Goodman described the seven roles of artificial intelligence in education and identified key concerns with its use in each of these roles. She discussed strategies for mitigating bias as well as highlighted some economic and structural reforms and provided some examples from international models.
On November 18, 2025, Professor Goodman presented "Artificial Intelligence and Employment: Implications for Equal Protection and Due Process" for a Washington and Lee University School of Law employment law course. The presentation focused on Professor Goodman's research on the impacts of artificial intelligence on employment discrimination in hiring and retention, as well as the procedural due process implications of government employers using artificial intelligence technologies.
On October 24, 2025, Professor Goodman presented "Critical Race Theory and Generative Artificial Intelligence: Understanding and Transforming Structural Bias in Subjugating Systems" for the University of California, Los Angeles critical race studies 25th anniversary conference. The theme of the conference was "Think. Teach. Transform. " The presentation focused on the foundations of structural racism in artificial intelligence technologies, identified some sources of bias in machine learning processes and addressed artificial intelligence and its benefits and harms in terms of access to the civil justice system. The presentation concluded with potential solutions for mitigating structural racism in artificial intelligence technologies.
