Warning: Your AI fairness audit might be a dangerous lie. 🧐

Focusing on "fairness scores" can obscure the real systemic bias baked into LLMs. It's like polishing a rotten apple—it looks good on the surface, but the core problem remains untouched, and the harm continues.

We need to look deeper than the metrics.

@jkn Yes, I think that's the unfortunate reality of mainstream centralized financial instruments. They can use everything, including their biases and beliefs about your ethnicity, to freeze the funds you have contributed for many years. You have the right to take action and seek legal advice regarding their freezing of your funds, which is happening solely for one reason that they are questioning. #BankingDiscrimination #FinancialRacism #FrozenFunds #EthnicBias #UnfreezeMyMoney #LegalAction #BankAccountLock #FinancialJustice #SystemicBias #EconomicRights #FundsHostage #BankingReform #DiscriminatoryPractices #FinancialInclusion #AccountFreeze #BankingWhileBrown #ClassAction #ConsumerProtection #DefundBias #BankTransparency

Stop Telling Women They Have Imposter Syndrome

“Imposter syndrome,” or doubting your abilities and feeling like a fraud at work, is a diagnosis often given to women. But the fact that it’s considered a diagnosis at all is problematic. The concept, whose development in the 1970s excluded the effects of systemic racism, classism, xenophobia, and other biases, took a fairly universal feeling of discomfort, second-guessing, and mild anxiety in the workplace and pathologized it, especially for women. The answer to overcoming imposter syndrome is not to fix individuals but to create an environment that fosters a number of different leadership styles and where diversity of racial, ethnic, and gender identities is viewed as just as professional as the current model.

I dig into the recently published "Name-based demographic inference and the unequal distribution of misrecognition", by Lockhard, King, and Munsch.

As the paper highlights, what seem like reasonable overall error rates of name-based demographic inference tools quickly degrade into unacceptable (and unpublicized) error rates when looking at intersections of demographics.
