The Algorithmic Justice League

🌌 Happy #ScienceFictionDay! 🚀 We're fascinated by sci-fi AI robots and how they reflect society's fears and excitement about this technology. In a video for New Scientist, AI researcher Beth Singler (assistant professor in digital religions at the University of Zurich) breaks down representations of the promises - and perils - of AI in iconic sci-fi films & TV shows, including Short Circuit (1986), Ex Machina (2014), and Terminator (1984). How accurate have these portrayals turned out to be? Watch to find out ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ekQnseqm What's your favorite sci-fi take on AI? Let us know below! 👇

AJL's founder Dr. Joy Buolamwini joined the Therapy for Black Girls podcast for a powerful conversation about the human cost of AI. 💡🤖 Together, they explored some critical questions: What does it say about current society when vulnerable people are turning to technologies like Therapist GPT that claim to offer “comfort, advice, and therapeutic support to those seeking mental wellness guidance?” And why is it especially communities of color that will be impacted the most by harmful AI systems? 🧠 Visit https://lnkd.in/eSqCa7aH to listen. ✨
