Inclusive GenAI Red Teaming
Summary
As AI systems increasingly shape society, how do we ensure they truly serve everyone and don’t further encode societal biases? This structured workshop brings together community members to explore inclusive red teaming: a practice that probes generative AI models for bias and harm. Participants will learn what inclusive red teaming is, co-create prompts rooted in lived experience, contribute to an open-source prompt library, and connect with others who want to see a shared ownership of AI accountability. Let’s break things together—thoughtfully and equitably.
