Assistant Professor Tina Law Publishes New Article on AI in Socius

Assistant Professor Tina Law recently published a new article on AI in Socius titled “AI Policymaking: An Agenda for Sociological Research.” The article is part of a new Socius special issue on the Sociology of AI.

The article, which is co-authored with CUNY Graduate Center Presidential Professor of Sociology and Political Science Leslie McCall, discusses why and how social scientists should help shape current policy debates about AI. Law and McCall provide a timely review of the rapidly evolving AI policy landscape and propose strategies for more robust and coordinated policy-oriented research on AI. The article, Law and McCall argue, provides a starting point “to shift the current AI policy landscape from one that is focused on mitigating a narrow set of risks and highly deferential to the private interests of tech firms, to one that is centered on advancing equity and in which every American has a vested stake.”
