The Race to Regulate AI: Ethical Challenges in the Spaces and Places of Consent Provision
Wed, October 2 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
On October 2nd, from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM via Zoom, Dr. Florence M. Chee, Associate Professor of Digital Communication and Director of the Center for Digital Ethics and Policy at the School of Communication, Loyola University Chicago, will discuss “The Race to Regulate AI: Ethical Challenges in the Spaces and Places of Consent Provision.”
This presentation will draw attention to the particular challenges facing global policy making efforts in the race to regulate and govern Artificial Intelligence locally and globally. Through a discussion of recent work in AI literacies, ethical design, games, and data as they inform industry and policy, Dr. Chee will engage the audience in some of the multilateral efforts currently underway in regulating our most intimate contexts and spaces.
In this discussion, we will go beyond binary thinking and venture into where ethics and privacy implicate data, autonomy in navigating various consent regimes, and what we can learn about respecting human rights in everyday practice.

Dr. Florence M. Chee is Associate Professor of Digital Communication in the School of Communication and Director of the Center for Digital Ethics and Policy (CDEP) at Loyola University Chicago, USA. She is also Founding Director of the Social & Interactive Media Lab Chicago (SIMLab), devoted to the in-depth study of social phenomena at the intersection of society and technology. Her book, Digital Game Culture in Korea: The Social at Play (2023 Lexington Books), critiques commonly held notions of online game addiction by taking an ethnographic look at the social and cultural roles that games fulfill in everyday life.
Florence Chee’s track record of research and scholarship directly refers to a teaching and research practice that is grounded in feminist technocultural training and sensibilities, with an ability to build bridges across disciplinary silos and collaborate with international researchers in computer science, philosophy, health, business, and law. Her overall goal is to advocate for ethical and rights-respecting approaches in creating, deploying, and sustaining technological systems for the public good, especially in terms of safety. Within that broader mission, she has focused on fostering digital ethical literacies through her research and promoting awareness of the social issues embedded in the technologies through their whole life cycle.
