The Firing of Timnit Gebru: Representation in AI
The firing of Timnit Gebru caused a stir at Google and the tech community at large. How do we create ethical artificial intelligence? How do we make sure that the products we build reflect and serve the entirety of humankind and not just a select group of well connected, well-off white people? That's a difficult issue to solve, but we do know is how you don't do that, by firing one of the few people of color working in AI ethics. Happy Black History Month, ya'll.

Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam ... Spamalot
On this episode we discuss spam, no not the canned meat-like product, but the scourge of your email inbox. Spam, though not as top of mind as it once was, is still a significant problem. According to Campaign Monitor, nearly 60 billion junk or spam emails will be sent each day in the next 4 years.
For some context, there are only 7.8 billion people in the world. That works out to nearly 8 spam emails for every person on the planet per day for four straight years. That's massive. For email providers, AI plays a major role in curtailing the spam messages we all receive. As it turns out, AI can actually be our friend. Who knew?
