Key Takeaways from this episode:
• AI systems inherently carry algorithmic bias from biased creators and unrepresentative "pale male datasets," leading to disproportionate failures for marginalized groups, especially darker-skinned women.
• AI harms extend beyond technical errors, causing profound societal consequences like wrongful arrests and denial of essential services, highlighting the need for a "sociotechnical" understanding of AI.
• Algorithmic justice requires shifting power, mandating accountability, ensuring explicit consent for data, and recognizing that not building or deploying certain AI systems is a vital choice.
• Driving change in AI requires interdisciplinary collaboration and courageous advocacy, humanizing harms through diverse communication like technical research, art, and personal storytelling, and empowering marginalized voices to influence policy.
