Glad to have my work based at @civicMIT under the direction @EthanZ defended. The silence of institutions that benefit from my successes has been disappointing, but I am hopeful those doing AI Bias work will continue even with powerful opposition. @medialab @MIT @Joi @black_in_ai

😎Don't missed my @WIRED op-ed on AI and biometrics: "Parents will fight to protect the right for children to be 'biometric naive', which is to have none of their biometrics such as faceprint, voiceprint, or iris pattern scanned and stored by government agencies, schools, .. "…

Proctorio lost! The Court of Appeal quashed Proctorio's appeal in full, with reasons to follow. ⚖️ Thank you so much to everyone who supported me in defeating Proctorio today. The Protection of Public Participation Act hearing will proceed from February 7th to 11th, 2022.

Thank you @alfredwkng . This is a collective effort by not only researchers, but also civil liberties organizations, activists, employees, and shareholders applying pressure coupled with the tragic death of #GeorgeFloyd and tardy corporate acknowledgment that #BlackLivesMatter

Glad to see @hare_brain and others in the UK calling out the dangers of facial recognition technology. What kind of a society do we want to be living in?

Read @EthanZ ’s powerful reflection. @AJLUnited is possible because Ethan held space for me to explore and grow in my ongoing journey to live out my calling. I hope more students have the honor of working with advisors who are willing to both listen and challenge. 1/n

Hope and Joy: The defenses of two remarkable doctoral students get me thinking about teaching, technology and strategies to change the world: Hey @jovialjoy and @alexishope , this is about you. And you're in there, @Sifill_LDF . And you too @chels_bar .
