Would love to see regulators welcome all of these amazing women to the table, in order to understand how to regulate AI. Don't be scared to learn, welcome all of them -- they know what they're talking about!

“@safiyanoble, @timnitGebru, @jovialjoy , @ruchowdh , and Gangadharan have been calling for regulation for years, as soon as they saw the harm automated systems have on marginalized communities and people of color.

Great read on the flaw in relying on optimism and rose-tinted glasses when imagining the future… 👇
“Look on the bright side” might be a fine piece of personal life advice, but it also diverts attention from hard pragmatic choices.
