<description>&lt;p&gt;The future is here, and it looks like deepfakes of real people saying fake things, chatbots claiming to have human-level consciousness, and evil robots ready to take everyone’s jobs. Artificial Intelligence, while only just recently becoming widespread and accessible, is transforming our world in ways that make understanding it more crucial than ever. Joining me for today’s important conversation on the ethical implications of AI is Dr. Joy Buolamwini.

Dr. Joy is the author of the national best-selling book, Unmasking AI: My Mission to Protect What is Human in a World of Machines.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;During our conversation, we examined some of the basic definitions, players, and concerns associated with AI, how biases are transferred in the creation of AI and then reflected in its application, and lastly, the specific challenges AI poses particularly for communities of color.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Podcast&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Resources &amp;amp; Announcements&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Grab your copy of &lt;a href="https://www.sisterhoodheals.com/"&gt;Sisterhood Heals.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where to Find Dr. Buolamwini&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://donate.ajl.org"&gt;Support the Algorithmic Justice League&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.unmasking.ai/"&gt;Read ‘Unmasking AI: My Mission To Protect What Is Human In A World Of Machines”&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.instagram.com/poetofcode/"&gt;Instagram&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://poetofcode.com/"&gt;Website&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Stay Connected&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Is there a topic you'd like covered on the podcast?

Description

The future is here, and it looks like deepfakes of real people saying fake things, chatbots claiming to have human-level consciousness, and evil robots ready to take everyone’s jobs. Artificial Intelligence, while only just recently becoming widespread and accessible, is transforming our world in ways that make understanding it more crucial than ever. Joining me for today’s important conversation on the ethical implications of AI is Dr. Joy Buolamwini. She is the founder of the Algorithmic Justice League, an award-winning researcher, and poet of code. Dr. Joy is the author of the national best-selling book, Unmasking AI: My Mission to Protect What is Human in a World of Machines.

During our conversation, we examined some of the basic definitions, players, and concerns associated with AI, how biases are transferred in the creation of AI and then reflected in its application, and lastly, the specific challenges AI poses particularly for communities of color.
