Race + Power Weekly

This week’s Race + Power newsletter has a thread of accountability to racial justice. A feature by Anastasia Tomkin highlights the findings of a recent report on the results of 2020’s racial justice pledges—it’s not good. Our latest Tiny Spark podcast talks to the authors of System Error: Where Big Tech Went Wrong and How We Can Reboot, which seeks to make technology, including algorithms and artificial intelligence, accountable to civil society. We republish Cyndi Suarez’s article on why we need to pay attention to AI. Finally, we share a story on a group of young activists fighting for algorithmic justice.
