    Our co-founder Dr. Alexa Hagerty interviewed by . Voice assistants raise serious issues of privacy, gender equity, & more. When will we learn that technologies developed without input from communities cause harm?

    It annoys me that Amazon stole my name, but as a anthropologist studying AI, raises more crucial questions: the UN says it promotes gender inequality. Researchers call it a privacy nightmare. AWS & NLP have huge carbon impacts. We should ask "Alexa, who is accountable?"

    Technology must not undermine democracy. This is why technology needs social scientists not just computer scientists. We will never be free unless our technology is democratic. Thank you and for spelling it out so clearly.

    Trump explicitly calls on governors to track protestors. Police departments around the country will use AI to identify faces in videos. We will never be free unless we have the right to dissent.
