More Than a Glitch: Confronting Race, Gender, and Ability Bias in Tech with Meredith Broussard | Episode 1.2
Second episode of Technically Biased is out now!
Listen to expert Meredith Broussard share her knowledge regarding how biases are codified in tech. She will answer all the crazy questions, including:
~ What is technochauvinism?
~ Why shouldn't we use Facial Recognition Technology (FRT) in policing or EdTech?
~ Do the algorithms used to predict recidivism rates ensure that they do not use data on wrongful arrests?
~ Why is Google's skin cancer AI racist?
~ How do algorithms perpetuate systemic biases, using centuries-old data?
~ How did the NFL use bogus race science to perputuate racism?
~ Why do Black people have to be significantly sicker than any other group of people to receive a kidney transplant?
~ How do algorithms use student's grades to calculate imaginary scores and the likeliness for said students to commit a crime? How are these predictions racist and classist?
~What is Y2K and Y2GAY?
Unfortunately, not enough time could be allotted to cover all her wisdom, so do check out her new book, More Than a Glitch: Confronting Race, Gender, and Ability Bias in Tech!
