We've all heard about biased AI, but Benjamin takes it a step further, showing how these biases can have real-life consequences. For example, facial recognition software has been known to mistakenly identify people of color, leading to some pretty awkward (and potentially dangerous) situations. Who needs that kind of stress in their life?
But here's the thing: these biases aren't just limited to AI. Benjamin argues that racism is embedded in the very design of our technological systems, from data collection to algorithmic decision-making. It's like, we're not just talking about code here, we're talking about culture.
