👋🏾 Hi there. I re-watched #CodedBias yesterday and...

💯 I find it better than The Social Dilemma. At least more useful.

✅ More and more, #algorithms will decide who gets hired, who gets healthcare, who gets police scrutiny.

✅ Meanwhile, those same systems (that we now trust) have not been vetted for racial o #genderbias, or for #discrimination.

✅ We are increasingly dependent on #AI technologies to make decisions for us. There is simply way too much data to be considered. Thousands of job or college applications, uncountable products to consider on Amazon, so much content available on Netflix.

👉🏿 What's next? I truly think, just from a citizen's perspective, we need to able to talk about:

⏩ Data and who owns it (for real). Should data rights be considered civil rights or even human rights?
What can we all do to advance diversity in tech, as one of the several ways to mitigate the risk of bias in AI.

⏩ One of the many tools to mitigate the risk of bias is by having diverse teams. If the world is 51% women, your team should be 51% women. The same for different demographics profiles.

👉🏿 What do you think? But more important… What do you have to say?
