Anupama Ray is using AI to make the world a better place. Working from the IBM Indian research Lab in Bangalore, she is using Speech Services paired with Machine Learning and complex Natural Language Processes to create a tool that helps children who are recovering from child trafficking.
In her interview she is not only talking abut her inventions and AI but also about the current situation of women in India and how the “guilty“ question is quite present, especially among her fellow PhD colleagues.
An overall very learning and educational interview with a lot of insights for the understanding and usage of AI focusing on mental diseases.
Written by Caroline Criado Perez, a British author, journalist, and activist, the book is a fascinating and infuriating read about the "gender data gaps" across a wide range of domains including medicine, technology, politics, health and safety, transport, and more. Criado Perez illuminates the deep biases in much of the data that major societal, business, and health decisions are built on. With this systemically skewed data, we are essentially discounting half the population, and as a result, we all suffer.
