Absolutely, and as importantly, the experiences and insights of Black practitioners, activists, snd scholars writing on systemic racism and sexism over 50-plus or 100-plus years. I’d add Calvin Lawrence’s book, Hidden in White Sight: How AI Empowers and Deepens Systemic Racism.
So yes. And no one should misinterpret this as only about data and algorithmic bias, not when “non-bias” is to yield systemically disparate outcomes. Bell, Crenshaw, Baldwin and others are essential reads on what unfounded claims to trustworthiness do to Black people.
