"Predictive policing algorithms are racist. They need to be dismantled.
Lack of transparency and biased training data mean these tools are not fit for purpose. If we can’t fix them, we should ditch them."

Yes, #MikePence is a #dumbass
«“There may have been a time, fifty years ago, when we needed to affirmatively take steps to correct long-term #RacialBias in institutions of higher #education. But I can tell you as the father of three college graduates, those days are long over,” Pence said Thursday. Those three children are all white.»

Black people are disproportionately denied aid from state programs that reimburse victims of violent crime. An examination of data from 23 states found some states where Black applicants were nearly twice as likely as white applicants to be denied aid.

Despite progress, the news #media in America still has a long way to go in terms of true racial bias progress. Black voices are often ignored or drowned out by mainstream outlets, and real representation is yet to be achieved, Isaac Newton Farris Jr explains.

Years of #homeowner horror stories & a growing body of research has cast a harsh light on how frequently racial bias can skew home appraisals. It's an industry that's dominated by white men whose methods for valuing homes haven't changed much in decades.

"We found no difference in the affective strength of endorsements for same- and other-race hosts. Instead, racial bias in endorsements occurs in the response that they elicit. The race of endorsers had even more impact than the race of hosts. Yet, unexpectedly, the higher responsiveness to same-race endorsements had a net positive effect on guests’ willingness to choose a host from a race other than their own."

I loved this episode. Starts with brief review of Timnit’s personal experiences with #RacialBias & #GenderBias in tech industry & academia. Then on to a great discussion of AI hype.
I’m an outsider/non-expert but this seems to be recurring story: VCs & other investors get so excited about future profits they wet themselves without taking a break to consider “Did we get this right? Who suffers if we don’t?”
And if you raise a flag you’re shown the door.
