Dr. Nathan C. Walker led a workshop for Adobe employees on training AI models with rights, sponsored by the Visible Hand Project at the Center for Constitutional Studies at Utah Valley University.
AI models are advancing rapidly, requiring developers to apply responsible technology practices to protect consumers, especially the most vulnerable among us. Dr. Walker, principal investigator at the AI Ethics Lab at Rutgers University, consults with leading AI companies and coaches students on applying a human rights framework to AI development. His workshop focused on training AI models on principles reflected in the United States Constitution.
Dr. Walker’s external professional engagement with Adobe through Utah Valley University was conducted independently of Rutgers University and was disclosed and evaluated by the Rutgers COI office. This consulting role involved consulting compensation but was unrelated to Dr. Walker’s responsibilities at Rutgers University and did not result in any conflict of interest with the AI Ethics Lab’s research, teaching, public scholarship, or university service.
