Dr. Misty D. Freeman, a first-time, African American woman author, has released a groundbreaking book titled "Unconscious Algorithms." This thought-provoking work explores the complex relationship between race, gender, neuroscience, unconscious bias, and artificial intelligence (AI), offering insights and recommendations to reshape societal norms and promote inclusivity.
In "Unconscious Algorithms," Dr. Freeman uncovers the legacy of racism and sexism in science and technology, shedding light on how our perceptions are shaped by neuroscience and the power of unconscious bias. The book explores the role of culture and environment in influencing our biases and emphasizes the concept of intersectionality as a crucial factor in understanding the complexities of inequality, specifically among black women and black girls.
