"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."

@60Minutes producers spoke to me for many hours. I even spent additional time building a custom demo for @andersoncooper and made recommendations on research to include and subjects to interview with emphasis on the stories of the #excoded who have been falsely arrested. 1/n
There was an interview scheduled and on my way to receive a COVID19 test I got a last minute notification that the interview had been canceled before I even reached the destination. It recalls to mind how @reshmasaujani and @GirlsWhoCode were handled by @60Minutes. 2/n
I was glad to see the work of @ClareAngelyn highlighted as it rightfully should be. From a public education standpoint I am not clear why @60Minutes did not include any of the results from the Dec 2019 @NIST study. nist.gov/news-events/ne…
