We’re starting off our #AINow2018 Symposium with a year in review by @katecrawford @mer__edith hitting on some key questions—How do we ensure ethics in tech? How do we create accountability over our tools? And how do we organize for it all?
“We’re gonna give you a tour of what happened this year” says @katecrawford, presenting visualization of data breaches from Cambridge Analytics to Facebook, organizing against Amazon’s Rekognition & Google’s Maven, tool supporting ICE from Palantir, & more. 
@katecrawford mentions the first self-driving car fatalities, an explosion in facial recognition tech, Facebook ads violating fair housing rules,
“That’s a tiny sample of what has been a hell of a year.”
“That’s a tiny sample of what has been a hell of a year.”
“This coming year is a big moment for accountability.” #ainow2018
“Genuine accountability will require these new coalitions.”
“Because AI isn’t just tech. It’s power, politics, and it’s culture.”
