Episode 17: Decolonising Computing, Part 2 (with Mustafa Ali)

In this episode (the second of two parts), ⁠Catarina Carvalho⁠ talks to ⁠Mustafa Ali⁠ about artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big tech. This picks up from where the first part left off, so please go back and listen to that one if you haven't already.

We also asked Mustafa, after the episode, to send us a reading list that might appear on his proposed 101 course, 'How the World Was Made'. We've added in suggestions of our own too. You can find it below. Let us know what recommendations you'd add to the list and if you use the list in your teaching.
