Let's goooo!!! The second of two papers on AI education is coming up in a bit. As an AI educator focused on inclusion and co-generative pedagogy, I'm *really* excited for this talk on exclusionary pedagogy. Will tweet some take-aways in this thread:

@rajiinio @hannawallach @STurkle @joannagoode13 @morganklauss @amironesei hi deb! yeah I figured it must have really resonated with you all :) thanks so much for sharing your incredible work!

[Kevin Robinson @krob]

This is absolutely brilliant work! ❤️

imho it's up there with some of the best work on CS education👇

[Deb Raji @rajiinio]

🗣️Finally, it's out! It's here!

In this paper, me, @morganklauss & @amironesei present work on a topic people remain hesitant to discuss - the **power dynamic between disciplines** & how that shapes poor AI ethics education and practice.

@hannawallach @STurkle @joannagoode13 @rajiinio @morganklauss @amironesei hi hanna!! yeah i had a similar experience too :)

whenever you re-read i'd love to hear about what you think about it now!

[Fernando Diaz @841io]

so, while the technical work of algorithmic transparency is important, it should be part of a broader perspective on how these systems are engineered, produced, and used. having a nice technical model of a dog's vision system won't alone tell me if it will bite me. (6/7)

@MrHargroder @STurkle @joannagoode13 @rajiinio @morganklauss @amironesei hi alex!!! :) and omg this is completely your kind of paper!

My @FAccTConference @DiverseInAI talk Fairness Metrics & Non-Discrimination Law: Can Fairness be Legally Automated? is online ft my paper Bias Preservation https://t.co/RZ7R2WVucW & Why Fairness Cannot Be Automated https://t.co/HgSgvclGkn @oiioxford @turinginst @CompSciOxford

[Mahima Devaiah (née Pushkarna) @mahimapushkarna]

A year or so ago while working on #datacards, I told @ZaldivarPhD "transparent documentation seems like an opaque deal. We need to make it more human." Today, we are stoked to open-source 1/2 of the #datacardsplaybook & present it at #facct2021

I need a name for that threshold when research findings about a category of people does more harm than good, when evidence becomes stereotype that hurts the exceptions. Favored research methods elide human diversity & complexity. #research #inclusion #DataScience

[madeleine clare elish @m_c_elish]

What are the responsibilities of researching AI in the Global South? Many common to all fieldwork: How can research be productive not extractive? Awesome #FAccT2021 tutorial "AI on the Ground" with incredible scholars @VidushiMarda @so_radhikal @tetisheri + Ranjit Singh!

[Dr. Casey Fiesler is no longer on here @cfiesler]

I'm busy running this thing, but looks like we have some useful live-tweeting of our tutorial on teaching ethics in the tech classroom! 😍 #FAccT2021

[Sandra Wachter [email protected] @SandraWachter5]

Excited to speak today
@FAccTConference 12:00-12:45 UTC on Fairness Metrics & Non-Discrimination Law: Can Fairness be Legally Automated? https://t.co/osqMBzL5Bn talk will also be recorded @oiioxford @CompSciOxford @BKCHarvard @turinginst @oxsocsci @Ox_CyberSec @OxfordLawFac

[Rachel Thomas @math_rachel]

Fairness research in ML remains largely rooted in Western concerns: the injustices, datasets, measurement scales, & legal tenets used. These infrastructures, values, & legal systems cannot be naively generalized to non-Western countries -- @autopoietic https://t.co/sryHFxZ1Xj

[Deb Raji @rajiinio]

We need to upgrade our dataset culture in ML. If we ever hope to make our models work, data needs to be more than an afterthought - its the engine driving the field & we need to treat it as such!

Inspired by @timnitGebru & others who continue asking questions on ML's data use.

[Remi Denton @cephaloponderer]

Continually grateful to @mmitchell_ai and @timnitGebru for creating a team that supported and fostered this kind of work. Also huge credit to them both for their seminal research in this area, which has paved the way for this work.

[MMitchell @mmitchell_ai]

Submit a workshop to FAccT!

[Kevin Robinson @krob]

@hildeweerts watch out them portability traps are everywhere

[Alex Hanna (اليكس حنٌا) @alexhanna]

In related news, the call for CRAFT workshops at @FAccTConference 2021 is live! We're looking for workshops that creatively engage with and address critiques of the FAccT field. Please share far and wide.
