Because Woodruff was identified as a suspect based on facial recognition technology. The Wayne County prosecutor still contends that Woodruff’s charges—dismissed a month later—were “appropriate based upon the facts.” Those “facts” increasingly involve the use of technology that has been proven wrong; the New York Times report on Woodruff helpfully links to articles like “Another Arrest and Jail Time, Due to a Bad Facial Recognition Match,” and “Wrongfully Accused by an Algorithm.” And it’s especially wrong when it comes to—get ready to be surprised—Black people. Facial recognition has been deemed harmful, in principle and in practice, for years now. We talked in February 2019 with Shankar Narayan, director of the Technology and Liberty Project at the ACLU of Washington state.  We hear that conversation this week.

The White House seems to be looking for ways to ease student loan debt more broadly, but not really presenting an unapologetic, coherent picture of why, and what the impacts would be.

Internal vs. External UX Work & A One-Woman UX Team w/Darshini Shankar Narayan

This week's show packs a double! Sarah O'Connell, Director, Professor and Founder of Eat More Art Vegas, joins Danielle Holland from Las Vegas to talk about the Nevada Democratic Elections. They get into what this week is looking like, the candidate's ground game in NV, and of course, some predictions! Then (32:88) activist, attorney, immigrant and poet, Shankar Narayan, joins STPT to get into data privacy, AI tech, accountability and people power. Get into it and learn why the law isn't going to save us. And as always this week's #sorrynotsorry.
