Meredith Broussard on the biases coded into AI
Description
We are becoming increasingly used to hearing about AI. As the technological revolution continues we are discovering more uses for it in everyday life. However the conversation can often be doom-laden, with occasional prognostications on the existential threat that it poses. But what if the real risks posed by AI are actually based on human fallibilities? Data journalism professor Meredith Broussard joins Matthew to discuss her book, 'More than a Glitch: Confronting Race, Gender, and Ability Bias in Tech', and to examine whether the tools being designed to help leap humanity forward are actually holding sections of our society back.
