Women of twitter! I have a pipe dream that I can build a team of software engineers that has a 50/50 gender split. I'm working at a wonderful company who are small but growing, with an amazingly inclusive culture, incredible transparency, and the will to build a diverse company

During June I collected information on just over 100 organisations that made statements about the Black Lives Matter movement. I was trying to see what these organisations were actually doing to try and combat structural racism and how at odds it was with their history. (1/15)

Thanks to @monzo for sharing this. 👏👏👏

[Monzo 🏦 @monzo]

A few weeks ago we committed to sharing the materials we use at Monzo as part of our privilege awareness training and other diversity and inclusion work.

And today we're making them public.

"Algorithms are racist because we are racist."

Data scientist Cathy O’Neil @mathbabedotorg cautions that, despite the appearance of fairness and objectivity, most algorithms reinforce the old biases we hoped they'd eliminate

[Brianna Wu @BriannaWu]

Siri, show me how AI and deep learning systems mirror racist and sexist tendencies in the data sets.

[Janelle Shane @JanelleCShane]

To nobody's surprise, AI editors are Significantly worse than human editors.

Like with self-driving cars, mistakes can have huge consequences.
