Confronting Our Reality: Racial Representation and Systemic Transformation with Dr. Timnit Gebru

How do we respond to the racism in the world we have been given? What does it mean to transform technology systems in the spirit of justice and equity? How do we engage with diversity and representation without reducing our efforts to simple branding and lip service?

To answer these questions and more the Radical AI Podcast welcomes one of our heroes Dr. Timnit Gebru to the show. 

Dr. Timnit Gebru is a research scientist at Google on the ethical AI team and a co-founder of Black in AI. Timnit previously did her postdoc at Microsoft Research for the FATE (Fairness Transparency Accountability and Ethics in AI) group, where she studied algorithmic bias and the ethical implications underlying any data mining project. She received her Ph.D. from the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, studying computer vision under Fei-Fei Li.
