As we wrap up Black History Month this week we are highlighting the work of Dr. Timnit Gebru. Timnit's journey, from her academic roots to her current role as an advocate for ethical AI, exemplifies how quality in technology goes beyond technical functionality or performance.

What lessons from Timnit’s journey can guide us in building a more inclusive and responsible tech future?

There are a couple of things that I miss & would love to see on Mastodon:
1. Being able to hover over someone's handle & have a pop up w/ some details rather than having to click to visit their full profile
2. Being able to message lots of affinity groups. I guess hashtags are the closest? I'd love to message diverse grps re: oppties like #latinxInAI #blackInAI #latinasInTech #WiML #blackWomenInAI #blackInData #WomenInAI #WomenInDS

Mastodon experts, let me know if I'm missing something!
