“A woman is like a tea bag–you can’t tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water.”–Eleanor Roosevelt
Artificial Intelligence–it seems there is no hotter topic in the tech world these days. Economists try to calculate its potential effects on jobs, car companies aim to tame it for autonomous driving, and big thinkers ala Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking espouse existential worries. But the effects potentially dig down deeper, broader, and perhaps with more subtlety in many other areas of human experience. One sometimes overlooked area of artificial intelligence influence is the effects it may have specifically on women’s issues–both in the workplace and in the home. Alexandra Whittington, of Fast Future Publishing, joins host Mark Sackler for a discussion of these issues on episode #25 of Seeking Delphi.™
