Ep 519 Alix Jules, Racism in Artificial Intelligence

Once upon a time, we thought artificial intelligence would be less racist than people. After all, machines are objective, right? Then we started teaching them how to think and made some discoveries of our own. When racism permeates our society and our IT infrastructure, how do we teach machines to do better than we do? This week, we spoke with Alix Jules about the point where technology, cognitive sciences, and sociology collide.
