The Turing Lectures series features influential figures from the world of data science and artificial intelligence. The latest lecture, which took place in October, was given by Dr Abeba Birhane, Senior Fellow in Trustworthy AI at Mozilla Foundation, and Adjunct Lecturer/Assistant Professor at the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.

In her talk, Abeba covers the topic of biases in data and the downstream impact on AI systems, and shows how this can lead to unfair outcomes in our daily lives. She explains why it’s such a big issue and how researchers, activists and policy makers are tackling the problem.
