So I can finally tell you about one of the things I've been being SUPER impatient about: If you're out in the world and happen to see a magazine with the words "Time," "Special Edition," "Artificial Intelligence," & "A New Age Of Possibilities" on the cover, you uhh… might wanna give pg 28 a look 👀

Picture of a magazine with title text reading "Time Special Edition: Artificial Intelligence: A New Age Of Possibilities," an several topic headlines, all over top of an "AI"-generated image of human eyebrow and eye, and the eye has a circuit board for an iris; a fedex envelope and desk are visible beneath the magazine
Text from magazine interior, reading, "Bias in the System: AIs, like people, can absorb prejudices & exacerbate problems instead of solving them. In this Q&A, Damien P. Williams, an expert on social justice, explains the issues & what we can do to push back."
You're hiring an assistant or considering candidates for a grant, & you'd like to make the best choice possible, free of emotion or any hidden bias you might have-so you turn to AI for help. But not so fast! Generative AI, trained on the massive flow of human language & culture across the internet, has already absorbed our biases, including the unconscious ones. & while developers are working to purge racism, sexism, & disdain for the disabled from their language models, they have a lot of work ahead, especially when it comes to more nuanced forms of discrimination we cannot always perceive. In the Q&A that follows, Pamela Weintraub discusses the entrenched biases still laced through emerging AI with Damien Patrick Williams, a data scientist & philosopher at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. His particular focus: How AI & algorithms affect the lived experiences of marginalized people, & how we can set things right.

It was weird seeing it on an actual bookstore magazine shelf!

Picture of a magazine shelf at a bookstore filled with several different magazines but centered on one reading "Time Special Edition: Artificial Intelligence: A New Age Of Possibilities," over an "AI"-generated image of human eyebrow and eye
