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

Read what happened below then take action by joining our fight to be heard ➡️ bit.ly/ajlnewsletter-… 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
