AI Redress Challenge

The Redress Challenge invites essays that propose clear, rigorous approaches for addressing harm caused by artificial intelligence. Redress refers to the set of measures taken after harm has occurred to acknowledge injury, repair damage, restore rights, and reform institutions so that violations do not recur. Redress focuses on responsibility, remedy, and restoration once those harms have materialized or emerged.
