Does anyone have any good examples of articles related to bias/structural inequity in technology that would be good for computer science people to read…… I have a couple but I’m making a little reading list for work
UAhh I'm gonna be sick ! OH

in reply to @masklayer's post:
no, but i have noticed that stable diffusion only generates white people unless you specify. I am aware that theres a large racial gap over history and today in regards to facial recognition technology for people with darker skin tones. many people suspect that these technologies are tested by a heavily WASPy male dominated engineers, using themselves as test data. This leads to a premature decision that the product is complete.
This also goes beyond computers, but also to photography, where color film was calibrated for sensitivity to white skin tones, rather than darker ones. (https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/shirley-cards/)
How about "Weapons of Math Destruction" by Cathy O'Neil? This one's a book but I feel it gives some good examples and things to think about. You could probably try picking a couple chapters from there to include in that list.
