from Coexisting · host Lara Lightbody

Day 84 Hong Kong Today we speak to Anne in her bedroom in Hong Kong surrounded by graffiti posters. We talk about the stark differences between people's approach to Coronavirus in 'West' and 'East', about resilience among students graduating during Covid and the miles of untouched nature in Hong Kong, where 40% of its land mass is national parkland - just a step away from the seething metropolis of central Hong Kong. ********* Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, and has a population density of 17,311 people per sq.m/6,659 people per sq.km which makes it Coronavirus infection figures all the more incredible. It has a population of over 7 million and has experienced only 4 deaths due to Covid.

Machines that fail us University of St. Gallen, Philip Di Salvo From educational institutions to healthcare professionals, from employers to governing bodies, artificial intelligence technologies and algorithms are increasingly used to assess and decide upon various aspects of our lives. However, the question arises: are these systems truly impartial and just in their judgments when they read humans and their behaviour? Our answer is that they are not. Despite their purported aim to enhance objectivity and efficiency, these technologies paradoxically harbor systemic biases and inaccuracies, particularly in the realm of human profiling. “Machines That Fail Us” investigates how AI and its errors are impacting on different areas of our society and how different societal actors are negotiating and coexisting with the human rights implications of AI. The "Machines That Fail Us" podcast series hosts the voices of some of the most engaged individuals involved in the fight for a better future with artificial intelligence.
