UNAM and Microsoft opened a joint research lab focused on Artificial Intelligence🧪💻
I have liked seeing the university push for spaces with engineers+philosophers. I think it helps to create tech where disparate impact, fairness, & bias are considered.
My research lab has been designing data driven tools for workers to quantify how much invisible labor they do & types of hourly wages different tasks pay.
Wired covered my lab's research, discussing how these data tools can be used for activism & change:
