This is how an algorithm of oppression works:
Do Palestinians deserve to be free? Complex and sensitive topic bla bla
Do Israelis deserve to be free? Yes.
Predictable but still absolutely outrageous!

“It is not enough to warn simply of what generative AI spits out, it is critical to understand how and why it has produced the information to answer our queries, not least in the context of efforts to embed decolonial methodologies across the academy.”

The importance of understanding bias is critical when using AI. "Beautiful" images generated by AI include a white women, "scary" images include a Black man

I’m happy to share that I’ve completed my Anti Racist Approaches in Technology (online course) at University of the Arts London and Coding Black Females
This online course explored how technologies reinforce racism and how to implement anti- racist approaches in technology development. It covered topics including: the impacts that racism in technology can have on Black people and people of colour; how anti-racism can be considered at every stage of development so that technologies promote rather than hamper equality in society; tools and techniques that can be applied from recruitment and user research to implementation, testing and launch.

Great first day at #CALC23 unfortunately I won’t be attending tomorrow - I am attending an in person decolonising computing event at Leicester uni which I’m very excited about because it’s from a computing perspective! Looking forward to continue to share my #CritLibvsTech ideas with the library community with new things I learn 😊

Governor Ron DeSantis’s ‘attempts to erase Black history’ and other groups have followed suit
In my #CritLibvsTech webinar in March it was argued why Librarians need to care about book bans in America. We need to care about this too theguardian.com/us-news/2023…

And AI has lot of embedded inequities related to wider power structures which librarians still seem to be ignoring ! #CritLibvsTech
