We don’t have anything of substance to pontificate on today because we managed to be so busy with work we didn’t even catch up on email until just now.
Still, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention Women In Voice. I just wrote to the organizers of their German contingent to thank them for hosting a talk from Marion Mulder last week, entitled The (non)sense of gender-free AI.
Why it’s interesting
Women, trans, and gender-non-conforming folks talking about issues affecting women, trans, and gender-non-conforming folks is always important in tech.
Women In Voice is an organization that aims to advocate and champion their work. We’ve had the chance to join a number of their events and can’t recommend them enough.
Why we care
Especially with AI, where the personal, cultural, and even environmental impact of decisions by a very small number of practitioners, more often than not there’s a larger social impact than is realized by the general public until those disproportionately affected by it (or left out of it) have been talking about it for a good long time already.
