yes...which is why the OpenAI team's lack of diversity is so discomfiting....

If AI actually works, it matters a lot who develops it. goo.gl/yRJ2HP

Long @NewYorker profile on Bostrom & the state of AI; not a single woman (unnamed wife aside) mentioned or quoted.. x.com/stanfordnlp/st…

If OpenAI is not committed to offering open access to their data, is the "Open" just branding? x.com/lawrennd/statu…
4
Nearly 60 men feature in this piece about @elonmusk's concerns about AI. 4 women are referenced; 1 ex wife is quoted vanityfair.com/news/2017/03/e…

Very grateful @elonmusk is worried about AI, but its terrifying discrimination isn't on his (or his friends) radar. vanityfair.com/news/2017/03/e…

In sharp contrast to Open AI, check out the all women & POC collaborating on @whitehouseostp's AI policy initiative! x.com/katecrawford/s…

(And, no, actually, its not because its policy. Read those bios boys)
8
Not a single woman mentioned or quoted (& published on #IWD2016 ); is AI's lack of diversity even noticed? x.com/rollingstone/s…

*except about the impact of the lack of diversity on ai algorithms. Which isn't mentioned..& only men were quoted. gizmodo.com/everything-you…

"Because if I weren't in on this, I'd be like why do these fuckers decide what happens to me." @sama newyorker.com/magazine/2016/… exactly! & yet

What a telling, juicy &, particularly if you don't share the subject or authors gender &/or race, also ominous profile of the future!
12
*where men* judge women's looks

A year or 2 ago, this might've prompted a LOL. Now, its insidious & threatening x.com/pdchina/status…
13
And what is more predictive of a team's diversity than their product's gendered name? x.com/roseveleth/sta…
14
maybe someday some grand-wizard of ai will discover & proclaim gender-neutral naming conventions as a huge innovation--a hack for diversity!
15
This says it all-even in learning AI, women & POC remain tangents-at best. Also, I'm so sorry @hellohln

I mentioned this in an AI homework writeup and the TA said "i went on a tangent" and took points off lol 😕 x.com/originalspin/s…

So, Google's assistant is nameless...& thus genderless? I guess thats more disruptive than gender neutral? x.com/dearsarah/stat…
