The Good Robot
Добавлен 26 дек 2017
What is good technology? Is ‘good’ technology even possible? And how can feminism help us work towards it? Each week, we invite scholars, industry practitioners, activists, and more to provide their unique perspective on what feminism can bring to the tech industry and the way that we think about technology. With each conversation, The Good Robot asks how feminism can provide new perspectives on technology’s biggest problems.
The Good Robot podcast is hosted and produced by Dr Kerry McInerney and Dr Eleanor Drage, Senior Research Fellows at the University of Cambridge's Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence. Find out more at their website, www.thegoodrobot.co.uk, and follow @TheGoodRobot1 on Twitter.
We also have a new book out, The Good Robot: Why Technology Needs Feminism! You can buy it on Bloomsbury's website, Amazon, Waterstones, or your local bookstore.

Art, Technology and Justice with Yasmine Boudiaf
In this episode, we talk to Yasmine Boudiaf, a researcher, artist and creative technologist who uses technology in beautiful and interesting ways to challenge and redefine what we think of as 'good'. We discuss her wide-ranging art projects, from using AI to create a library of Mediterranean hand gestures through to her project Ways of Machine Seeing, which explored how machine vision systems are being taught to 'see'. Throughout the episode, we explore how Yasmine creatively uses technology to challenge the colonial gaze and the predominance of Western European ideas and concepts in ethics.

Buddhist AI Ethics & machine consciousness with Peter Hershock
I work in tech and I worry about tech. Thank you for this; I am excited to read it! ❤
Thank you ❤❤
lol wtf... Academia is dead.
Transgenderism works like "Actual Idealism" aka. Fascism. "I think I'm a woman, so I am a woman."
Gotta love how "Science" has basically become Lysenkoism since cash grab Universities came up with these made up degrees for women like "Gender Studies".
Take a good look guys. This is how the people look that drive society straight into the ground.
Wrong! Women can’t drive, duh
How did this cultist propaganda trash pop up in my feed? How do such R3T4RDS get PhDs? Academia is broken.
Truly the most brain dead crap I've seen on the internet in 15 minutes...
interesting
Good stuff, let's roll on
I would also add, that those who train in maths at such a high level, are interested in finance, or industry, aside from academia with its virtues...they have highly desirable niche skills which can earn people a lot of money, they may be surrounded and brought up in a corporate and competitive culture which prioritises and emphasises money, capital, at all costs.
Heather and Ben are True Heros
Yes, good technology is possible, but not good *digital* technology. The revolution will NOT be online.
Why do you cut out the pauses? I just wanted to say I find it a little distracting.
Ah sorry ! My bad editing. I’ll try to keep more of them - someone else said they find the ums distracting so I’ve been cutting them out
@@thegoodrobotpodcast Guess it's my time to feel like a granny, lol. I enjoy the pauses. It just makes the information easier to process. Also that might be because English isn't my native language. Thank you for replying and considering, though :)
@@stephanied5668 oh cool what’s your first language?! Yes that makes sense - I’ll make sure the pauses are longer if I can ! (It’s Eleanor writing this btw)
@@thegoodrobotpodcast It's brazilian portuguese! Btw nice to meet you Eleanor, I came across your podcast today from a friend that told me about your webinar tomorrow!

Did Kerry take too much Ritalin or what….bro be shaking like the beat just dropped.
She just nods a lot cos she’s lovely and polite ❤ whereas I’m usually psychopathically still so she always thinks my zoom is frozen 😜(hugs, Eleanor)

*POC is an evil term that means hate white people. What do Black people in the US have in common? ONLY one thing, they are Black. ANY statement made about them other than what they have in common is probably racist and is defiantly of little value when applying a general rule to individual persons. You are basically claiming ignorance, remedial and substandard ways of thinking regarding things of great importance. Obama's daughters and a poor Black kid living in the projects of Detroit are treated as the same in the minds of the uneducated imbeciles and those brainwashed in Universities today. No valid reason given. No science to back up why. Why ignore every relevant factor? Individual Rights MAKES you see the details. [Willful] ignorance allows you to ignore them. Equality is honorable, equity is just pure evil and the root cause for the mass murdering of the 20th century. Outnumbering all the wars in the 20th century. Socialism, Fascism and Communism. ALL are far left ideologies that reject religion because it gets in the way of atrocities. No, Hitler was not Catholic [went to church once as a kid]. He was more like a Pagan. Wars killed about 150 million [incl. 2 world wars] and those 3 inanities killed well over 200 million. None during wartime and all by their own governments. What is more tragic? A soldier in a war dying or a civilian who died by the hands of their own government? Wise up.*
Enjoy it, please continue, Eleanor and Kerry
This was such a good show! I find the sourcing AI tools to find passive candidates very problematic and would love to hear a show on what you think. An example is HeroHunt AI. Also would be totally up for a collab!

One perspective on this call to regulate dangerous AI, by the very organisations and individuals who have chosen not to regulate the development of AI internally, is that it is a highly calculated way to cement their early mover advantage. Government regulation tends to "freeze" industries in their current state , because only the established organisations have the resources to meet the regulatory obligations. Maybe these guys are looking at the crazy wealth generated in the military-industrial complex, which has a government-funded and regulated oligopoly over dangerous weapons, and thinking that they want some of that...too cynical?
