    Myth: Artificial intelligence is bias-free

    Many people think of AI as objective and neutral, something that not only makes our lives easier, but also helps us to eliminate the biases that plague human cognition and decision-making. While it’s true AI can do a lot for us, it’s a myth that AI is bias-free. In fact, AI can amplify the bias and perpetuate the inequality that is already rampant in our society. In this episode, we’ll explore how and why AI isn’t as fair as we’d like to believe, the consequences of bias in AI, and what responsible and ethical AI could look like.     GATE’s Busted podcast is made possible by generous support from BMO.   Featured Guests:   Allison Cohen, Senior Manager, Applied Projects, Mila   Dr. James Zou, Associate Professor of Biomedical Data Science and, by courtesy, of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, Stanford University  Produced by: Carmina Ravanera and Dr. Sonia Kang  Edited by: Ian Gormely

    Myth: Being LGBTQ+ doesn't matter at work

    What does being LGBTQ+ have to do with your job? Actually, a whole lot. LGBTQ+ people face many barriers at work, and to being employed in the first place – like hiring discrimination, microaggressions, and lower earnings. And, if people feel like they have to hide who they are at work, it can take a huge toll. Sexual and gender identity are a part of who we are, and like other aspects of our identities, they affect how people perceive us and the opportunities we have. This episode busts the myth that being LGBTQ+ doesn’t matter at work.   GATE’s Busted podcast is made possible by generous support from BMO.   Featured Guests:   Dr. Lee Airton, Associate Professor of Gender and Sexuality Studies in Education, Queen’s University  Dr. Erin Cech, Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Associate Professor by courtesy in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Michigan  Dr. Bianca D.M.

    Myth: Women don't make good political leaders

    In Canada, only 30% of Members of Parliament are women, and only 16% belong to a racial minority group, well below their 26% representation in the overall Canadian population. On the other hand, white men are over-represented in political leadership, and that’s not only the case in Canada, but in many other countries as well. People may – consciously or subconsciously – think that that’s because women, racialized folks, and members of other underrepresented groups just don’t make good political leaders. But the reality is that there are a lot of factors contributing to the political underrepresentation we see today. In this episode, we’re going to be busting the myth that women and members of other underrepresented groups just aren’t suited to political leadership.     GATE’s Busted podcast is made possible by generous support by BMO.   Featured Guests:   Dr. Kristen Duke, Assistant Professor of Marketing, Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto  Dr. Mirya Holman, Associate Professor, Hobby School for Public Affairs, University of Houston  Dr. Erin Tolley, Canada Research Chair in Gender, Race, and Inclusive Politics and Associate Professor, Department of Political Science, Carleton University  Produced by: Carmina Ravanera and Dr. Sonia Kang  Edited by: Ian Gormely

    Myth: Accessibility is optional

    Accessibility is about making information, resources, activities, and environments, well, accessible. That means that everyone should be able to engage with these things with minimal effort and as meaningfully as possible. Countries around the world including Canada and the US have adopted accessibility laws, but there’s still a huge disconnect between how important this issue is and how much attention it receives. Many people don’t think about accessibility at all. Or if they do, they think of it as a nice-to-have that’s kind of optional or that’s it’s just about accommodations and modification to physical space. This episode busts the myth that accessibility is optional.  GATE’s Busted podcast is made possible by generous support by BMO.   Featured Guests:   Dr. Mahadeo Sukhai, Head of Research and Chief Accessibility Officer, Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB)  Dr. Jutta Treviranus, Professor and Director, Inclusive Design Research Centre, OCAD University  Produced by: Carmina Ravanera and Dr. Sonia Kang  Edited by: Ian Gormely

    Myth: Care work is women’s work

    Care work is foundational to societies and to humanity. But even though everyone needs care, care work and those who provide it are often ignored, trivialized, or devalued. Why? Part of the reason is that care work is gendered: there’s a myth that care work is women’s work and that women just have the natural skill to be carers. In this episode, experts share research that shows that caring for others is a skill that anyone can and should learn – and if everyone participated in care, we could have more empathetic, healthier societies and relationships.  Featured Guests:  Dr. Taveeshi Gupta, Director of Research, Evaluation and Learning at Equimundo  Dr. Darby Saxbe, Professor of Psychology at University of Southern California  Produced by: Carmina Ravanera and Dr. Sonia Kang  Edited by: Ian Gormely  GATE’s Busted podcast is made possible by generous support by BMO.
