The UC Davis Center for Poverty & Inequality Research is pleased to announce our upcoming conference,  Artificial Intelligence and Social Inequality, which will take place on Tuesday, March 17, 2026 from 9:00am to 4:00pm at the UC Davis Student and Policy Center (1115 11th Street), just steps away from the State Capitol.

As AI systems become increasingly integrated across employment, education, public services, and healthcare, a critical question emerges: How will AI affect existing socioeconomic, health, and opportunity gaps? This conference will convene an international slate of academic researchers, members of the policy community, and industry representatives for a day of research presentations, keynote talks, and meaningful dialogue. California sits at the intersection of technological innovation and progressive policy leadership, making Sacramento an ideal location for this critical conversation. Our conference provides a unique forum where researchers studying AI’s impacts can directly engage with those shaping its regulation and deployment.

Lunch, coffee/tea, and light refreshments will be provided. Please complete the online registration form to reserve your seat at this timely and exciting event.
