🎙 AI’s Overhype & Social Harms with Dr Linda Berberich

We dove into the intersectionality of AI and its impacts on society, especially marginalized communities. We spoke of the real harms that AI poses to society, but also how technology can be used to augment human behavior and learning. Our discussion delved into:

• What is AI behind the hype and media's misconceptions
• The challenges of consent and regulation in the digital space
• The repercussions of AI on creativity and authenticity in society
• Ethical implications of technology – facial recognition technology and data privacy

I especially loved hearing about Linda's experiences in Big Tech and how her own experiences of misogyny reflect the broader historical context of misogyny and white supremacy in the development of AI. I hope you enjoy the conversation!

In Solidarity,
