Amazon mislabeled companies as 'small' and 'Black-owned,' report says

Amazon removed some of the labels, according to a report in The Information, but the practice brings into question whether the badges are truly helping small and Black-owned firms.

Another #PeerReview finished.

Paper ~ 4500 words
Review ~ 2339 words
Duration ~ 2.75 hours

The paper reminded me strongly that #Psychometrics analyses are conducted within societal contexts and are always related to questions about #Equity and #Inequality.

Have for example a look at @BD_Zumbo's fantastic presentation here offering several resources to follow up:

Welcome! You are invited to join a meeting: Open Data Day: Designing for Data Rights in the AI Production Pipeline. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the meeting.

Building trustworthy AI requires building public trust in how AI is developed. While the majority of AI production/resources are concentrated within a few companies in even fewer countries, alternative spaces are emerging for more people to participate in creating, applying, and governing data and data-generated ML models. New initiatives such as BigScience and BigCode seek to change extractive methods of AI production, replacing secretive web scraping with data stewardship and other data rights-affirming tools, practices, and systems. Through a workshop conducted through Miro, we will walk through the current methods of data procurement for building ML models and discuss opportunities to integrate community preferences into the AI production pipeline. Target participants will include contributors to open source datasets or open source code repositories. The outcome will be a public Miro user flow diagram representing the diversity of perspectives from participants and summarising key takeaways from the discussion.

For months I collected data about the representation of Dalit, Adivasi and OBC students and researchers at various levels of academia in some of the elite universities in India.

The results were stark. That story for @[email protected] in 6 charts.

When I was in 9th grade I broke my ankle. I was playing volleyball and I landed on another player’s foot. The ankle turned the wrong way and then I was in a cast for six or seven weeks. That summer…

I'm evangelizing for Mastodon because Twitter is likely toast, but I also want to be very clear that Black and disabled folks have built community infrastructure on Twitter that is real and meaningful.

We all need to be mindful of what Elon is destroying, and who it harms most.
