Interview: "Deep Unlearning”: AI Hype, Ethics & Algorithmic Racial Bias
"Artificial intelligence is entrenching societal biases & inequality" ~Timnit Gebru
Google fired Gebru in 2020 "for writing a paper that warned about the financial & environmental costs of large language models, as well as their propensity to promote racism."
"The internet, which is what AI uses to train itself, represents hegemonic views."
