Decoding how machines only learning white faces can lead to bad outcomes for other races with Avery Smith part two Mar 04, 2021

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

On this episode of AI: Decodes the System, Avery Smith, creator of Melalogic--a Habit-Tracker for Skin Care--and AI decode how in order to erase racial disparities, there has to be a direct focus on understanding the needs of Black people. Not just people of color, but Black people. In part two, they talk about how Avery is building a dataset focused on Black skin in order to improve disparities in dermatology and specifically skin cancer diagnosis. Avery talks about how industries don't focus on Black people due to the population size and how that can no longer continue. Listen to part one here.
Avery envisions that Melalogic will use machine learning and image recognition to help trained doctors more accurately and efficiently pre-diagnose skin conditions in Black People at their earliest stages, leading to lower mortality rates.
More about Avery
Avery Smith started coding in 1999 as a hobby to promote his graphic design. Years later, he has two degrees and extensive software development experience through his work with the rescue team for President Obama's Healthcare.gov website and with the U.S. Small Business Administration, TravelChannel.com, and the Library of Congress. He co-authored a research paper with a leading dermatologist entitled, "Machine Learning and Health Care Disparities in Dermatology," published by the American Medical Association.

Decoding how 50% of Americans say they are Independent but have to choose between two political parties with John Opdycke Feb 25, 2021

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

On this episode of AI: Decodes the System, AI shares a recording of a panel she moderated for Open Primaries with John Opdycke, Jeremy Gruber, Danny Ortega, and Mayor Danny Holt. The conversation covered a groundbreaking new report from the Open Primaries Education Fund -The Next Great Migration: The Rise of Independent Voters. This report lays out the dramatic increase in Americans from diverse backgrounds and politics registering to vote as independents. The short bios from the panelist are listed below:

David Holt has been the Mayor of Oklahoma City since 2018, and for his first year in office was the youngest mayor of a U.S. city over 500,000. A Republican, Holt is also Oklahoma City’s first Native American mayor. He served in the Oklahoma Senate from 2010 to 2018.
Danny Ortega, an attorney and longtime advocate for community empowerment based in Phoenix, Arizona. He is the former Board Chair of Unidos US (formerly National Council of La Raza). He also serves on the Board of Directors of the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and Los Abogados Hispanic Bar Foundation.
Jeremy Gruber, Senior Vice President of Open Primaries and co-author with Opdycke of The Next Great Migration: The Rise of Independent Voters.
John Opdycke, President of Open Primaries and Senior Advisor to the Electoral Innovation Lab at Princeton University.

Event description:

The Zoom event paired the authors of this new research with leading political figures for an engaging conversation on how to dismantle the partisan barriers that are keeping Americans apart.
Independent voters are now the largest or second largest group of voters in half the states and will be the largest or second largest group of voters in almost every state in the country within a few years at current rates of growth. Party registration is declining in both red and blue states.
Yet we continue to operate within an electoral framework--and corresponding media paradigm--that assumes that party membership is the default. This is most obvious in closed primaries but it infects all aspects of politics including redistricting, campaign finance laws and procedures, election administration and enforcement--even who is allowed to serve as a poll worker on election day.
Our election system does not reflect America. This has a profound effect on partisanship and polarization. Appreciating why so many Americans are identifying as independents--and choosing to register to vote as such despite the negative consequences--is important for political reformers, journalists, candidates and elected officials working to chart a new path forward.
