Thank you Dialogue and the folks at @DukeCE for sharing Vivienne Ming's (@neuraltheory) latest research on "The Diversity Innovation Paradox." Read more about how to "Hire for the team: Diversity always does better. So why don’t we recruit for it?" https://t.co/G6EjfSSRZV

...AI systems that effect people in a positive way, subtle implicit bias found in AI and humans, promoting inclusion while working from home, and the diversity-innovation paradox.

Our founder Vivienne Ming (@neuraltheory) was recently a guest on the new episode of The BIS: Business Integrity School with @Cindy_Moehring! Listen to her interview to learn about creating...

Pondering the relationships between quality use of research evidence #URE, #ResearchImpact, #KnowledgeExchange, #KnowledgeMobilization #KMb, #EIDM, #ImpSci, etc. How do we distinguish between evaluating the quality of evidence, the decision, its implementation, and its impact?

Thank you to the @MelindaEpler and the folks at @changecatalysts for the conversation with our founder Vivienne Ming (@neuraltheory). You can check out the full conversation here: https://t.co/BcnuIuTuwL or wherever you listen to podcasts.

A recent paper confirms what my work suggested, “people’s impressions of others’ faces are driven not only by [face shape and expressions] but also by learned stereotypes about social groups.”

[Vivienne Ming @neuraltheory]

In AI research I did years ago, smiling and youthfulness strongly correlated with femininity in Facebook profile photos—and (weirdly), glasses-wearing with East Asian-ness.

And...

(2) We must resist the powerful desire to add GPT-3 and automatic speech recognition to create conversational toilets. The robot revolution would begin with a justifiable uprising by gas station shitters.

[Vivienne Ming @neuraltheory]

There are 2 important issues:

(1) these systems will regularly “detect” trivial variations and transient false positives. Smart toilets must respect repeated measures, heterogeneity, interactions, and more.

[Vivienne Ming @neuraltheory]

For a start, this prototype smart diaper acts as a “urine-sugar detection device, composed only of organic materials with a low environmental load and it can be useful for detecting postprandial hyperglycemia.”

[Vivienne Ming @neuraltheory]

Fuck your flying cars and jet packs! Give me an AI-powered toilet hunting for pre-diabetes and 1,000 other conditions.

[Vivienne Ming @neuraltheory]

But automation-related #deprofessionalization also strongly interacts with racial and social status threat. Authoritarianism needs someone to blame.

[Vivienne Ming @neuraltheory]

Across labor markets, “individuals more exposed to automation tend to display higher support for the radical right.”
https://t.co/bbD0Ewh0zy

Most workers in the industrialized world believe a promise has been broken—higher productivity = a better life...and they are right.

[Vivienne Ming @neuraltheory]

…and “fail to process the strengths of the other options.”

It’s awfully hard to see value in things that you ignore, whether it's science, music, or human beings.
