As many of you might already know, I had this dream to become a faculty. Unfortunately, that did not happen, so instead I decided to create my own lab kind of a thing.

I am trying to start working with some students (PhD, masters, undergrad are all welcome) and mentor them.

🚨Generative AI has a serious problem with bias🚨

Over months of reporting, @dinabass and I looked at thousands of images from @StableDiffusion and found that text-to-image AI takes gender and racial stereotypes to extremes worse than in the real world.

It happened! My first first-author paper with Misako Kawahara, @sacc_isa, @RuudHortensius, Akihiro Tanaka & @MariskaKret is out 🎉

It has been a long, winding, and fruitful road. I could not be prouder of how it ended.

We say we don't have a dress code in tech and we pretend to have an inclusive culture but in fact we do and this dress code and culture disproportionately affects women.

This Moroccan Arab Muslim first-generation woman just gave her first long talk for her award-winning paper at #ICML2022! I dedicate this achievement to all the underrepresented groups that I proudly represent!

So overwhelmed by all the support that I received! Many thanks! 1/2

🧵Feminismos e Inteligencia Artificial (IA): un breve hilo de lo que estamos armando desde @datagenero junto al @jpcyf10💜

4-5 years ago @mmitchell_ai was a semifinalist for the MIT Tech Review 35 under 35. I wrote a letter of support. One of the things I mentioned was that her work has been so under appreciated in the field of "AI." 1/n

@SoliloquiosLit "Dibujando con el lado derecho del cerebro" de Betty Edwards es para aprender a dibujar pero en su mayoría es teoría, la autora menciona que es para aprender a observar, me gusta que incluye cosas como la abstracción de la infancia que se mantiene y varias curiosidades del arte😃

[Kate Manne @kate_manne]

It is hard to overstate how liberating and moving it has been to study fatphobia this semester with my terrific students. We've studied texts by @rgay, @tressiemcphd, @SaStrings, @yrfatfriend, @RottenInDenmark, and @philoslothical7, among many others not on Twitter. So grateful.

"Google’s toxic problems are no mystery to anyone who’s been there for more than a few months..who have been following the tech news with a critical eye...Black women like @RealAbril...have made clear just how deep the rot is in the institution. I am quitting because I’m tired."
