** Race + Power Weekly
------------------------------------------------------------

While artificial intelligence is the leading edge in the private sector, the nonprofit sector is just beginning to pay attention. Social change agents need to take AI seriously, not just because some (mostly Black women) have warned about its inequity-enhancing uses, but because it can be a source of equity and perhaps even liberation, if we design for that. An article by Cyndi Suarez makes the case for this by providing theory and context. A clip with transcript from an interview with Emily Kawano proposes that AI be used to advance a solidarity economy. A link to an article by the ACLU calls on the Biden administration to address AI in its civil rights and equity policies. Finally, a link to a Stanford article highlights the main ideas at its first Technology and Racial Equity Conference.
