In a world where the tech we build looks more and more like us, our biases and flaws as humans are often subtly amplified within the platforms we build.
Timnit Gebru joins us in the boardroom from the forefront of the fight against technology bias as the founder and executive director of the Distributed Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (DAIR). Timnit unpacks her fascinating journey as a migrant from Eritrea in her early days, to becoming a renowned Ph.D. holder from Stanford University.
In this episode, we speak about the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence, her active role in A.I. research and development, and her fight for equity and accountability in the industry. Join us as we unpack dilemmas such as the unlikely but hilarious memes of sentient AI chatbots, tech monopolies, and the possibility of various emerging technologies aiding in immigration, financial inclusion and more.
We’re kicking off the new year in style, hop into the Boardroom and start your year on a high note with us.
