A review by ebarrett3
Unmasking AI by Joy Buolamwini

informative lighthearted reflective medium-paced

4.5

A significant portion of this feels more memoir rather than informative on AI, but I didn't hate it. It explains how Dr. Buolamwini came to do the research she did, and ended up founding the Algorithmic Justice League. I greatly appreciated the thoughtful and accessible explinations for the issues she noted. Buolamwini does not get into much detail with generative AI which is a more recent phenomenon/ethical nightmare. Nor did she touch on the environmental impacts of these new technologies, but this book and her research alone can't be everything to everyone.
