Digital Bypassing

from Technically Spiritual · host Prerna Manchanda

Is technology racist? Most of us believe that technology is neutral— a fair and equal space for all to exist freely. Many scholars including Ruha Benjamin, Safiya Noble, and Joy Buolamwini highlight the many ways that this is not true, and particularly illustrate how technology perpetuates racism. In this episode, Prerna synthesizes the work of these Black women and shares examples of bias that has been coded into a wide range of our technological systems. She introduces the term digital bypassing to explore our tendency to avoid facing the reality of injustice in the digital space and challenges us to be better for the sake of true freedom.
