Unpacking UsAuthor: Asad Liaqat
This second season of Unpacking Us focuses on technology and development in the Global South. We're talking about how technological innovation is fueling growth in these countries, about how it's enabling exchanges, and products and transactions that we couldn't dream of a few years ago, and yet at the same time its uprooting livelihoods, spreading discord, dis-enfranchising segments of the population. We'll talk about financial inclusion, education, AI, politics, and I'm sure other areas as well. We'll talk to builders and doers and thinkers - and I hope we will all learn a lot in the process.

Does AI Worsen Gender Inequities?
Episode 2
Sunday, 21 July, 2024
Machine learning algorithms are increasingly being used to make highly consequential decisions for citizens of the Global South. I talk to Genevieve Smith about how algorithmic decision making in the realm of financial inclusion can lead to inequitable outcomes along gender lines, how that compares to the status quo, and how we can do better as practitioners and researchers.Genevieve Smith is the founding co-director of the Responsible and Equitable AI Initiative at the Berkley AI Research Lab and is also part of the faculty at Haas. She also serves as a Gender & AI Fellow at USAID and leads research partnerships with big tech firms.
