'Proceed with caution:' AI poses issues of discrimination, surveillance

Artificial intelligence is seeping into everyday use. AI tools can help organize your mountain of family photos that grew over the holidays by identifying faces and grouping pictures of the same person.

There are many uses for AI as the technology becomes more accessible and normalized, but not everyone is excited about that premise. AI scholar and activist Joy Buolamwini is one of those critics. She’s the founder of the Algorithmic Justice League and author of the book "Unmasking AI: My Mission to Protect What Is Human in a World of Machines."
