NACHOS S2E5 : The Bias We Carry

Bias hides in plain sight—from the data sets that train our AI to the tiny sighs that shut neurodivergent voices down. In this NACHOS episode, Dr. Adam Hazlett traces that thread through a whirlwind of stories: AI experiments that amplify prejudice, orangutans whose recursive alarm calls upend what we call “language,” the neuroscience of why tickling works only when someone else does it, a nostalgia study that shows memory as emotional first aid, and a landmark UK ruling that turns a manager’s exasperated breath into a legal case for disability discrimination. Each segment asks one big question: how do we stay human—and humane—inside systems that keep forgetting what humanity looks like?Ready to dig deeper?
