31. AI + Inclusion with Ruhee Meghani

Idea Overflow

Special guest Ruhee Meghani tells us how being a generalist has helped her make unique connections, and how and why she started Allied Collective, an inclusion and wellbeing agency.
We then get into the topic of AI + inclusion (15:04) and talk about the inherent biases in AI, what is "right" when there are different political, cultural, religious and other differences, and an idea for a service that audits and scores a company’s datasets on inclusion and ethics before they use it.
