It is always a delight to talk to @JuliaAngwin. It was particularly special to talk with her about my new book, MORE THAN A GLITCH: CONFRONTING RACE, GENDER, & ABILITY BIAS IN TECH, coming in Feb 2023. Here are some more links from our conversation. 🧵 mitpress.mit.edu/books/more-gli…
@JuliaAngwin I first started thinking about the intersection of tech & gender identity thanks to a conversation with @jvn on @CuriouswithJVN. They got me thinking about how to be a better ally to the LGBTQIA+ community by redesigning tech 2 go beyond the gender binary. tinyurl.com/mw8hkb42
I learned a lot from reading scholars like @histoftech@schock@annaeveryday@farbandish who have been writing about the intersection of gender & tech for years. Read their work!
Finally: if you're not reading @themarkup on the regular, you are missing out on some of the finest algorithmic accountability reporting out there. Check out the full text of my conversation with @JuliaAngwin here: getrevue.co/profile/themar…

This morning, I read the new proposed @EU_Commission AI legislation, "Proposal for a Regulation on a European approach for Artificial Intelligence." Here are my notes on the first 50 or so pages. digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/library/pro…
I'm writing a new book for @mitpress about race & gender & ability & technology. I read the proposed legislation hoping that it would be fodder for the chapter currently called "hopeful and policy stuff."
The proposal starts with some history. EU folks have been working on AI ethics issues since at least 2017.
