Delighted to be joining #AoIR2020 for the opening keynote on the politics of AI after COVID by @katecrawford & @alondra! I have my own little piece of the conference with me in @susannapaasonen @kylzjarrett & Ben Light's book # NSFW, and I'm feeling connected, even from afar 👩‍💻
Our keynotes have written these great BOOKS about artificial intelligence: @katecrawford is bringing out The Atlas of AI, and @alondra wrote The Social Life of DNA: Race, Reparations & Reconciliation after the Genome #AoIR2020

I am utterly speechless. #AoIR2020

This thread is about community accountability when the people causing harm are 1) close to you and 2) refuse to be held accountable.
I’ve been involved to one degree or another with ReFiG from its beginning (founders of ReFiG are the names in the session above). One of them was my grad school supervisor, was a founding board member of femfreq, among other things. We have a long history. I owe her a lot.
The leaders of ReFiG have been called out on transphobia as well as worker exploitation, most prominently last year but there has been low key awareness of this for some time.
