Listen "Diversity, equity, and inclusion in AI: solved problem?"
Episode Synopsis
Is equity, inclusion, and diversity in AI a solved problem?
I’ve written a lot of stories lately about AI. AI is critical to our future of automation ... robots ... relf-driving cars ... drones ... and … everything: smart homes, smart factories, safety & security, environmental protection and restoration.
A few years ago we heard constantly how various AI models weren’t trained on diverse populations of people, and how that created inherent bias in who they recognized, ho they thought should get a loan, or who might be dangerous.
In other words, the biases in the people who create tech were manifesting in our tech.
Is that solved? Is that over?
To dive in, we’re joined by an award-winning couple: Stacey Wade and Dr. Dawn Wade. They run NIMBUS, a creative agency with clients like KFC and featuring celebs like Neon Deion Sanders.
