Hi there! I will be in San Francisco from October 4th until the 18th. Who's around to grab a coffee and chat about AI and ethics?

When @BerkeleyISchool's @niloufar_s was six, her brother swallowed a coin. Her mom didn't speak English, so Niloufar translated for the doctors. Today, she is developing machine translation systems for high-stakes scenarios like the one she experienced.

Students are so excited to attend this May 4 event with @timnitGebru https://t.co/OIRlQOnQ0u

[Rosanne Liu @savvyRL]

If you plan to attend the (first ever) @MosaicML x @ml_collective partnership *in-person* event, registration is closing in three days. After that it will be much harder to get in. We are COVID cautious and will cap the density. Be sure to register!

[Abeba Birhane @Abebab]

this is a great example of how ML really is nothing more than pattern finding in data

AI doesn't (and can't) make sense of the social world the way humans do and any patterns picked could be these silly details than anything fundamental about a behaviour we are modelling

[Erin LeDell - ledell.bsky.social @ledell]

This Friday, I will be presenting a new research direction in interpretable & fair ML, called "Admissible Machine Learning."

I will also teach you how to use these new methods in #rstats and #Python, which are available in #opensource H2O! 🌊 Register for free below.👇

No more "move fast and break things." Time for a new wave 🌊 of people like our friend & advocate, the brilliant @timnitGebru, who is taking "a more deliberate approach to creating new technologies that serve marginalized communities." by @JulianneMcShane
