I really enjoyed reading this interview between Fearless COO, Joe Paiva, and GovCon Wire’s Summer Myatt. Joe’s insights here inspire hope for a more equitable future. 💡 When asked if AI will close or widen the digital divide, Joe said: "Without the right people at the table, we’ll teach AI the wrong things... What’s particularly concerning to me is that most of these AI and ML models are trained on historical datasets that reflect centuries of systemic bias and discrimination. All these inequities are baked into the data that AI applications use to ‘learn’ how to make predictions. Without intentional effort to identify and mitigate these biases, AI will continue to amplify past inequities and erect new barriers to opportunity for underrepresented groups." He added: "However, I don’t think this outcome is inevitable. AI also has the potential to be a powerful tool for identifying and addressing bias. We’re seeing promising examples in healthcare and criminal justice where AI is being used to surface disparities and inform more equitable decision-making. Fearless, via both our nonprofit efforts and digital services integrator, is publishing white papers and conducting free seminars for senior executives and policymakers. Fearless is already a leader in this space, and we are going to do everything in our power to make AI a technology that empowers all Americans." https://lnkd.in/dMxUqpQm
