Unmasking AI: My Mission to Protect What Is Human in a World of Machines by Joy Buolamwini

hopeful informative reflective

4.0

i wanted to enjoy this but overall it was more memoir-y & less informative than i expected. still incredibly insightful and important examination of AI and its flaws, but it’s told wholly through the lens of the author’s academic/professional journey/career, rather than taking an impartial, holistic approach. i would’ve liked more insight into other researchers in the field and their advancements, and more details about how different AI works. that said, I’ve been trying not to knock down ratings for “i wish it had this” things and rating based on what it is (as opposed to what it is not). so i guess it gets a solid 4.
