pigtail & breadfruit: AI & Our Mothers
from pigtail & breadfruit
This episode examines AI not as a thing or a problem in and of itself, but rather as an imbalance in the types of knowledge we have allowed to define what "intelligence" is. It sees AI as a system not just intelligence, but also a system of rewards and benefits that has validated and encouraged a certain kind of intelligence within the society, the education system and within us. Its opposite, the symbol of an alternate intelligence is that of "the mother", especially, the Black Mother. (Though this is not "officially" the first episode of the podcast, it is an early peak into it in the attempt to address a trending, and important topic.)
