For too long media coverage of tech & AI has been defined by white tech barons and their PR machines. Today I join @safiyanoble @timnitGebru @dalitdiva @nighatdad @arzugeybulla @Nanjala1 @joana_varon & others to call for a more inclusive conversation. freepress.net/sites/default/…

With respect, and in a collegial spirit, I want to question the new APA guidelines for citing ChatGPT. ChatGPT and OpenAI are not "sources" of generated text in the academic sense. They do not come up with or stand behind the ideas in the generated text. 1/
How can you cite ChatGPT in your next paper? Our @APA_Style team of nonrobot human beings provides some guidance. apastyle.apa.org/blog/how-to…

New episode! @MahaRafiAtal and @AlinaUtrata discuss feminism, reproductive rights and technology. How has the legal landscape changed since Roe v Wade? What are tech companies doing about it? And does your GP know who their cloud computing provider is?🧐 open.spotify.com/episode/2xp…

When an "algorithm" is actually just a guy using the computer to make decisions, that's called an al-guy-rithm.

Thanks @dripberlin. Definitely had to include your app in the guide!
Very cool guide by @Info_Activism on how to Choose a private cycle tracking app. Our private, secure & feminist drip app is in there! It looks into data privacy and security, but also takes a critical look at opaque calculations of fertile days. Well done 🩸💅
