Harvard CS and English undergraduate student, Catherine Yeo, talks about her journey founding an AI ethics organization with tens of thousands of article views and discovering her interests through her love of writing.

Besides founding her organization Fair Bytes, Catherine is also lead venture partner at Contrary Capital and has previously worked at Disney’s StudioLab, Dover, IBM Research, and Apple in AI research and software engineering roles.

“I want to help others really look at AI from both technical and ethical perspectives… and also consider who they are also designing this algorithm for and how they can maximize the help for them.” - Catherine

In this episode, we talk:

  • AI ethics
  • Computer science + English
  • Education and impact

For anyone interested in developing tech solutions to impactful problems, this podcast episode provides insight into important implications and how we can work together as a society to de-bias our algorithms.
