Connecticut’s Freedom of Information Act was signed into law by then Governor Ella Grasso in 1975. Transparency in government increases both accountability and credibility and benefits both the government and those governed, ideally anyway. In Connecticut, transparency is not just a lofty goal, it has a structure, namely FOIA. In this golden anniversary year, we can celebrate the goal of open government, transparency, accountability, and sunshine being the best disinfectant. Please join us for this 90-minute webinar as we hear from three professionals who all interact with this framework to do their jobs. We will hear about the nuts and bolts of the process from Russell Blair of the Freedom of Information Commission and hear both Attorney Kevin Smith and investigative journalist David Altimari share practical applications of the FOIA to real world situations. The webinar ends with a question-and-answer period.

Over the last 70 years, AI usage has greatly shifted from primarily research and government purposes, to now aiding everyday citizens with minor tasks. Without proper regulation and supervision of public access to AI systems, there's been a domino effect resulting in both positive and harmful impacts in our society. This seminar will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the ethical considerations involved in developing and deploying artificial intelligence technologies. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into various industries and aspects of our lives, recognizing and addressing the ethical implications is paramount.
