Companies are now moving towards algorithmic accountability l. Started work in 2016. Movement now. Joined IEEE to help with this work. TED talk over 1M views. @jovialjoy#GHC18 + @lesbiantech
Gender binary goes back to political classification. Should we even be labeling people by gender? Ongoing struggle but this is something we need to keep bringing up. Engineers are not making distinctions. Assumptions need to be challenged. @jovialjoy#GHC18 + @lesbiantech
Q: How terrified should we be with sexual identity + facial recognition weaponized at scale?
