“As Bonner went down the #AI rabbit hole, she discovered the book #ManMade by journalist #TraceySpicer, and was so alarmed "I didn't know whether to cry, or who to hit, or who I needed to take out".

She got in touch with Spicer, who argues that "the #bigotry, #bias and #discrimination" of the past is built into the #datasets, #algorithms and #MachineLearning of AI.”

Bill Gates states in his book that a slow decarbonization path is a set-up for much more absolute harm than a very fast one. We can think about this the way we think about a mortgage loan: if you reduce the capital of the mortgage quickly (in the case of climate change, the capital would be total greenhouse gas emissions), you would save a lot in interest (i.e., climate effects), and as a result, the overall amount you pay out is greatly reduced
