Other books chosen by students were @ruha9's Race After Technology, @PopTechWorks' Automating Inequality, @kanarinka& @laurenfklein's Data Feminism, @histoftech' Programmed Inequality, and @wewatchwatchers' Dark Matters. 4/4
Shoutout to Mar Hicks’ book “Programmed Inequality” about the perceived value of work based on who is doing it: mitpress.mit.edu/9780262535182/… #MLASLA23
Other books (in Q&A) Algorithms of Oppression by @safiyanoble Artificial Unintelligence by @merbroussard Programmed Inequality by @histoftech Race after Technology by @ruha9 Black Software by @cmcilwain Dark Matters by Simone Browne Ghost Work by @marylgray

"Emily M. Bender...tweeted that this secrecy did not come as a surprise to her. “They are willfully ignoring the most basic risk mitigation strategies, all while proclaiming themselves to be working towards the benefit of humanity,”
