DECODING RACE, AI, ALGORITHMS & AUTOMATION

The  tech we use  impacts  our  lives. They aren’t neutral objects but can have particular worldviews baked-in to the very operation of them. It can be overwhelming to begin to challenge those cultural biases when a lot of mainstream conversation on technology is wrapped up in speculation and paranoia. How do we make sense of all this? On today’s show we begin to decode some of this with guest producer Dr Sarita Herse in conversation with feminist technoscience Dr Thao Phan. Together they chat through race, AI and algorithms helping us see through the veil of opaque and insidious tech; and ways to co-opt these forms to find meaningful resistance.
