"In 2009, when researchers polled 1,350 Americans about the video at the center of Scott v. Harris, most agreed with the Supreme Court’s majority view. But the researchers identified “sharp differences of opinion” along cultural and ideological lines, including race, income and a person’s views on societal hierarchy."

A quotation from Terry Pratchett
Not for the first time she reflected that there were many drawbacks to being a swordswoman, not least of which was that men didn’t take you seriously until you’d actually killed them, by which time it didn’t really matter anyway.
Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
Discworld No. 2, The Light Fantastic (1986)

It is remarkable what sort of news the BBC do not wish to cover. I don’t watch their television so must take that on trust, but looking at the BBC news site, this is not even touched upon. Hunger strikes in NI, and more recent ones, yes, but this no. I do wonder who the corporation represents - it certainly is not most of the UK.

Q: what do you do if AI is being biased?
A: complain, this is the right time to be a Karen, tell them about, let them know this keeps you from being able to use their product

At @pyconau #pyconau Dr Arwen Griffioen presents an anti-oppresive framework for #AI and #data ethics - red team your models for #bias, centre the voices of the people who are most likely to be harmed, monitor continuously, for distributional shift, and ask the hard questions during the design process. Use your privilege to push back.
