The “Karens” phenomenon, white women who call 911 on Black people going about their everyday lives, has now been immortalized in a Beyoncé track (“Energy,” Renaissance). Often overlooked in any discussion of “Karens” is the role of technology in facilitating this kind of harm. In fact, ‘nice white ladies’ are not only complicit in, but actively participate in the design and implementation of harmful technologies. Indeed, we might think of white femininity as its own kind of technology that has the power to affect change in the material world. In this engaging talk, Jessie Daniels connects the dots in a way that many have called transformational. In the conclusion, she asks how we might ‘call in,’ rather than simply call out, the nice white ladies of the tech world. Registration required.
Jessie Daniels, Ph.D. is Professor of Sociology at Hunter College (CUNY), where she directs the master’s degree program in Applied Digital Sociology. Daniels is affiliated with the Harvard Berkman Klein Center and the Oxford Internet Institute. She is the author or editor of six books, including her most recent, Nice White Ladies, which received coveted starred review from Kirkus and was included on their list of Best Nonfiction of 2021.

5 Problems Facing Artificial Intelligence for Health (and What's Being Done About Them)
|
Thursday, September 29, 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm Eastern
|
|
|
Artificial Intelligence has been promoted as the key to solving key problems in healthcare, but the challenges facing us are far more complex and often intractable – with potential even to bring harm. In this 1-hour seminar, we’ll discuss this landscape at a high level, including a history of unrealistic expectations, overhype that too often permeates this space, serious issues of bias and fairness, and other areas. We’ll discuss illustrations and case studies drawn from the current scientific literature, informed by AI Health’s longstanding Weekly Roundup of news and publications in AI. We’ll also talk about the researchers and approaches that are informing responses to these problems, and the opportunities that exist to actively develop ethical and equitable data science.
The presentation will be accessible to a broad audience, including those with no prior background in health data science or artificial intelligence. Registration required.
