What does it look like to build AI that serves people, not just power? | SXSW AI Spotlight πŸ’‘

In this special Amplified by AJL conversation, Karen Hao, author of Empire of AI, joins Dr. Timnit Gebru, founder of DAIR, longtime Algorithmic Justice League supporter, also featured in Coded Bias, for a powerful discussion on the future of AI and who it is really being built for. Too often, AI feels like something being done to us, rather than with us or for us. But AI is neither poison nor panacea. It will become what we choose to build. This conversation explores how we move beyond Silicon Valley’s β€œmove fast and break things” mindset toward an AI ecosystem grounded in accountability, justice, and our shared humanity. This is an edited version of the full conversation. You can watch the complete panel on the @SXSW YouTube channel.
