  10. 🔒 Myth-busting: AI isn’t always intelligent—it reflects the data it’s fed. Biased training data can lead to discriminatory outcomes in hiring, policing, even credit scores.

    🧠 Always ask: Who trained the AI? On what data?

    Transparency & accountability matter.

  16. The SFU Dean's Lecture by Dr. Safiya Noble was fantastic!!

    "What AI Tools do is that they flatten the human experience. . . Humanity is the antidote to this. Everywhere we can resist dehumanization through tech is the pathway through."

    Amazing!!

  17. On #MushroomMonday I want to give a shout out to @agaric , a tech cooperative that builds really cool #OpenSource #CommunityTech #NPTech tools for nonprofits, independent media, community groups and other do-gooders

    They also fight politically for #TechJustice as members of @mayfirst and in other coalitions and alliances.

    They're a great example of the newly introduced tendency #mycopunk

    @FreeScholar was in a badass punk band back in the day and @mlncn defends encampments from police raids.

  18. “It seems like a moment in which we need to trade off scale for depth in our movements. We really need more depth now to build the kind of coherence in our ideology, and our vision for the world, and our relationship to each other." — @stevenrenderos #MediaJustice #TechJustice

  19. CW: Call for Survey Participation on Assistive Technology

    Researchers at Purdue University are studying how disability and technology policy can change to make life better for people who use adaptive equipment and assistive technology.

    If you use any of the following:
    • Mobility equipment like wheelchairs, scooters, canes, walkers, prosthetic limbs, and more
    • Dexterity equipment like hooks, grabbers, or other specialized manual tools
    • Communication equipment like a talker or other AAC Device
    • Assistive Software like Screen Readers, voice over, or eye trackers
    • Adaptive computer interfaces like specialized keyboards, mice, buttons, or switches
    • Or other similar devices

    You are invited to participate in our study “Adaptive and Assistive Technology Users, Developers, and Technology Policy”, Purdue IRB 2022-759.

    Survey link: purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/f

    This survey of your experiences will take 10 to 20 minutes of your time and will help us transform technology policy to improve quality of life for Americans with disabilities.
