We dove into the intersectionality of AI and its impacts on society, especially marginalized communities.

Our discussion delved into:What is AI behind the hype and media's misconceptions The challenges of consent and regulation in the digital spaceThe repercussions of AI on creativity and authenticity in societyEthical implications of technology – facial recognition technology and data privacyI especially loved hearing about Linda's experiences in Big Tech and how her own experiences of misogyny reflect the broader historical context of misogyny and white supremacy in the development of AI.
