This is me! Talking about AI! Check it out! š¤šø
Lately, our guest,Ā @multilingual_s, is a computer scientist and organizer withĀ @QueerinAI, a global group of LGBTQ+ researchers whose mission is to raise awareness of queer issues in artificial intelligence. Sabine explains how we got here, how AI is only as good as the data it gobbles up and the real-world consequences of misrepresentation.
