I share with you a special guest.  Andreas Wolter, my husband,  joins us for an unscripted chat about interracial relationships, Jesus and sauna parks. Does Free Body Culture ring a bell? Maybe you find it interesting on how couples meet, here's our story. We share the awkward moments of culture shock and things we have experienced together as an interacial couple – but also his white male perspective on seeing inequality. Also if you think we should bring him back for more insights, follow us on instagram and facebook and leave a comment.

In 2018 Amazon  terminated its trial artificial intelligence (AI) recruiting tool after discovering it discriminated against women. This tool was created to trawl the web and spot potential candidates, rating them from one to five stars. But the algorithm learned to systematically downgrade women’s CV’s for technical jobs such as software developer.

Although Amazon is at the forefront of AI technology, the company couldn’t find a way to make its algorithm gender-neutral. Its  failure reminds us that AI develops bias from a variety of sources. There's a misconception that algorithms are supposed to be built without any of the bias or prejudices that influence human decision making, but the truth is that an algorithm can unintentionally learn bias from a variety of different sources. Everything from the data used to train it, to the people who are using it, and even seemingly unrelated factors, can all contribute to AI bias.

On today's episode we have renowned thought leader and Chief Data Scientist for IBM Dr Eva Marie Muller-Stuler who's here to shed some light on just how sexist AI is? 

Dr Muller-Stuler is a trusted advisor to both governments and international bodies (e.g. the UN) on the risk of AI and its impact on society. She collaborates with international organisations on developing a worldwide AI ethics framework.

Welcome to 2021! It's pretty clear we're still in the middle of a disruptive era. 
How are we going to transition into this  uncertain new year and at the same time stay grounded? 

Looking back and moving forward is a discussion with my friend Ros Dumlao, a hard-nosed journalist turned communications professional with a collection of experiences from Chicago,Colorado, Mississippi and Germany. 
Currently working at the International Paralympics Committee, Ros shares some lessons we can learn from athletes with disabilities who've had to adjust to a world that is not designed for their convenience.  Together, we reflect on the year that was and how we envision transitioning into this New Year - both having experienced it very differently.

2020 was objectively a hard year.
