I would really love if every time I post something about AI bias on the internet I didn't have to (a) defend my credentials ("do you even code bro?"); (b) justify that yes, I know how AI works, and yes, I know what training data is; (c) clarify that more than one thing can be a problem at the same time (e.g., tech AND society); and/or (d) deal with people who insist racism has to be intentional.

Please teach my daughter many things (she's finishing her freshman year up there).

This sounds similar to how folks were treated back in 2016 when they (we) pointed out that trump was and is a fascist;

"You can't even define fascist!"
"Eco was talking about ITALIAN fascists!"
"Accusing trump of being a fascist is FASCIST!"

@mycotropic I'm not teaching undergrad tech ethics this coming year though I'm teaching an undergrad section of online communities in spring 25. :)

I would love to take that, but I “don’t even code” 🧑‍💻 It sounds fascinating and, frankly, something we need much more of.

@Bam No coding required for any of my classes :)

@cfiesler There's definitely a weird AI Eliteisim that comes with a certain type of conservativism - luckily these days it's easy to spot.

Meanwhile: Every project I'm involved in currently touching AI, the first question I ask is "Why?" And the next one is "Have you done a business impact and risk assessment?"

If they haven't thought of the ethical implications of the tool it's a no-go.

@mhagdorn I'm actually reading Blood in the Machine for a book club right now. :)
