This book has been one of the most challenging things I’ve worked on. Telling a story so complex, vast and abstract; fairly representing the narratives of people and communities who pay the price of AI’s might; and finding the time to write with our laat-lammetjie’s arrival.

A clip from the @4womeninscience breakfast debate with @UNESCO and the @nytimes earlier this year where we discussed gender bias within AI.
With the example of digital voice assistants, the @UNESCO demonstrates that the #AI sector must be more gender-balanced. Today, women represent indeed only 12% of the workforce in the #AI sector. What does it mean to have under-represented women in this field? ⬇️ @racheladamsward

This is devastating, and likely to have wide impacts in job markets across the majority world. Another example of how AI is widening the gap.
