🔧 System Update in Progress: AI’s Memory Needs More Voices

This live recorded podcast episode brings together women who are building, questioning, and rerouting 'AI standards' across ethics, hardware, enterprise, and software. We talk about what gets lost when tech isn’t built with diverse voices in the room, why “neutral” AI is a myth, and how we start rewriting the defaults—before they get too locked in. If you’re interested in the future of AI, the politics of training data, or just want to hear smart women say smart things about systems that affect us all, this one’s for you.

Season 2 Finale: Is DEI dead & should we be 'hiding the broccoli' ?

Let's dish on DEI, shall we? Is it dead? Do you care? We think it's a good idea to keep doing the work, even if we have to 'hide the broccoli'! Host Rose Kaz [https://www.rosekaz.com/] asks if 'hiding the broccoli' in order to best present the beneficial parts of doing the work might be an effective tool to heal so that we can collectively see all people as humans. Meet Sandra Hunter [www.wildwomenleadersofcolor.com], Kjell van Zoen [https://www.vanzoen.com/]  & Zhou Fang [ www.intersectional.group] . All individually bringing the work of inclusive practices into leadership & each of their styles lean into our global and inherent diversity to build equity. This collective conversation looks closely at why this work is really just our human responsibility if we would like to build a more equal world. As with all our podcast guests, this group of leaders' work does disrupt industry, particularly late stage capitalism [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_capitalism#:~:text=In%20modern%20usage%2C%20late%20capitalism,manufacturing%20units)%2C%20and%20a%20growing] that demands a head down, less conscious approach to being human. Their work touches the realms of money, sex & politics and that's why we are getting into on the MSP Pod! Sandra, Kjell & Zhou bring an intersectional approach to their teaching and leadership styles to translate this important work world wide. They believe - as does LBI Digital [https://ladybossinternational.club/#contact]- that a world that has more equity is a world where everyone gets more! A recent headline proffered by another leader of a varying view point suggests that DEI is not only dead, but racist in it's intentions [https://www.shrm.org/topics-tools/news/inclusion-equity-diversity/elon-musk-dei-racist]. We are refuting this and pointing to the ongoing need for this work to be foundational in both personal and business development. What exactly is Diversity, Equity & Inclusion? The wildly buzzy terms really just translate into all humans deserve respect and are entitled to the same access to resources so that equity is achieved. And maybe we do need to 'hide the broccoli' of that mission so that we can continue to pour these foundations into the new builds of our cultures, at work and at home, even if we use other terms or routes to accomplish the equity. Sandra, Kjell  & Zhou want you to know DEI is NOT dead but is instead asking you to chew on its nutrients. Let's dig in because Knowledge IS POWER !!
