What I'm Reading: Artificial Intelligence
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share with you a couple of articles that really got me thinking about the world and how much it is simultaneously changing and reverting.
Artificial Intelligence and its future have been making the news for most of the year. There are serious ethical problems with the technology, and women who worked in developing the models tried to sound the alarm about the dangerous biases being coded into the programs.

If we don't learn and remember history, we are bound to repeat it. There is a growing anti-trans movement that is whipping up a moral panic around a very small group of vulnerable people and making them targets for harassment and violence. Other familiar notes of fascism are ascendant. There is new scholarship on how the Nazis targeted trans people that is unfortunately relevant.

I hope you'll find these pieces as eye-opening as I did.
