At the screening of Coded Bias, a documentary on Algorithmic Bias by Dr Joy Buolamwini. Such a sobering reminder of how much racism is built into the DNA of how things work specifically AI and the fact that vigilance on all fronts is the price for freedom. @ushahidi @BarazaLab

Climate change is hitting hardest where voices are weakest - smallholder farmers, women, PLWDs, the elderly and coastal dwellers. For too long, policies left them out. With @ushahidi and @NetHope_org, we're changing that. Their voices will be heard. #ClimateAction #FoodSecurity
