1/ 🏳️‍⚧️ Today is #TransDayOfVisibility so let’s talk about the disparate impact of AI on this community. From security checkpoint systems that use a binary definition of gender to biased facial recognition technologies, AI is failing transgender and nonbinary people in critical ways.
Black background with white text centered reading "Ai Boom poses threat to trans community, experts warn. By Eduardo Salazar Uribe." The blue, black, and white logo for NYCity News Service is underneath the text. An image of Lady Dariana, a trans woman who came to the U.S. to flee threats against her in Ecuador, is featured with Dariana in the middle of a cobblestone street. Underneath this image, white text reads, "#TransDayofVisibility" Black background with white and red text reading "When we are thinking about how A.I. discriminates, we have to think about how machine learning systems are built. The mathematical patterns in the data are the same mathematical patterns in the world. So any kind of discrimination that exists in the world or has existed historically is likely going to be reflected in the data that’s used to train the system up." White text under this reads "Meredith Broussard, Author of 'More Than a Glitch' & 'Artificial Unintelligence'"
