We commence this month with words from our founder, Dr. @jovialjoy, followed by a poem a 💌 on the value of each life:
"In a year where we will see massive investments in #AI and the deployment of more generative AI systems like #ChatGPT, King’s prescient words on the need to “shift from a thing-oriented society to a person oriented society” ring true not just from the sanctuaries of Georgia...
but also the server farms of giant corporations.
AJL will continue to strive for a world where AI serves all of us, not just the privileged few. We will strive for a society where hue is not a cue to dismiss your humanity."

On Sunday night, @60Minutes aired an episode on facial recognition and #algorithmicbias, and excluded the groundbreaking work of prominent Black female AI scientists: @jovialjoy, @rajiinio, and @timnitGebru.

Instead, @60Minutes featured another study — calling it “groundbreaking” — even though the study itself explicitly cited both @jovialjoy's and @rajiinio's algorithmic bias work as its motivation. 2/6
And it gets worse.
Our founder @jovialjoy spent hours with @60Minutes producers before the show aired, built a custom demo for @andersoncooper, and recommended research to feature. 3/6

BREAKING: Last night during @60Minutes’ episode on facial recognition, the Black women who co-authored pioneering research on #AlgorithmicBias were completely erased.

While talking about how AI development often leaves out the marginalized (which leads to incredible harm), @60Minutes not only excluded @jovialjoy, @rajiinio, and @timnitGebru — but miscredited their seminal work on #AiBias.
The irony is too much to stomach. #CiteBlackWomen 2/4

This isn't new.
Far too often, we still face erasure.

(1) Hey @Brkfldproprtl, looks like you just installed a terrifying #biometric #surveillance system in my building without notice or consent.
First off, when you subject tenants to disturbingly invasive surveillance systems, you might want to, you know, ask if we agree. 😡

(2) Next, the fact that I have absolutely no idea what the capabilities of the system are. Does this include #FacialRecognition? Clearly it has both computer vision and thermal imaging, but what else? One person in the lobby says it has mask detection AI, is that true?
(3) Who keeps this data? For how long? Is it routinely shared with police and/or public health authorities? Do you have a #privacy policy, and if so, where is it?
I know not every tenant is a #surveillance expert, but did you think none of us would care?

While recent conversations surrounding AI bias were necessary & useful, several notable works of prolific researchers on the topic were never acknowledged or even quoted. So, I am starting a thread to discuss important work on fairness, explainability, and ethics (1/N) #aibias
This thread will focus on works of researchers who never got their due in the discussions that happened in the past week. I will include works by my favorite researchers across all races/genders. Please feel free to comment & add about anyone I might have missed. (2/N)
Cynthia Dwork and @mrtz deserve to be mentioned on top of this list. They started working on fairness in 2012 when the whole world was not sure about why fair algorithms were even needed. Their paper "Fairness through awareness" is one of my most favorite papers. (3/N)
