In this episode, feminist AI researcher Josie Young explains that a series of research projects in the 90s set a problematic baseline for gendering technology. While Josie illustrates how narrow minded design can be damaging, data scientist Theresa Anderson (Faculty of Transdisciplinary Innovation - University of Technology Sydney) makes the case for an ethical AI framework.
