Episode 3: Data & Automation

What harms can result from AI and automation, and how might we address and prevent those harms?

Researchers Arthur Gwagwa and Deb Raji join our host, Natalie Kerby, to discuss data, AI, and automation, and the different ways they operate across geopolitical contexts such as the US and Africa. The episode covers not only the harms that can result from these systems but also how we might address and prevent those harms.
