The eighth edition of AfroTech, which lasted four days in Houston, held its place among one of the largest gatherings of Black tech professionals.

Many were searching for connections that could land early career conferencegoers their first tech job or a branch to pivot to new tech companies or into entrepreneurship. Her loss didn't seem to dampen the mood too much, but it has cast doubt and uncertainty as big tech companies line up to kiss the ring of the new administration.

☆ AI researcher Joy Buolamwini cautions that if AI systems fail people of color, they fail humanity

We’re growing some teeth as to what can be done with AI, but we also see where there’s progress, there’s attack. One of the things I like to point out with AI systems is that if your AI systems fail on people of color, you don’t have a robust system. If your AI doesn’t work on the global majority, if your AI doesn’t work for women, if your AI doesn’t work for people with disabilities, once you start expanding all of the areas we’re talking about, it comes to your AI doesn’t work for humanity. To me, that’s a proactive approach of saying, how do we build consumer AI technology in a way that’s more ethical? I was talking to Sam Altman about the climate impact of AI, especially these large language models and generative AI systems.
