There’s a real danger in developing AI policy behind closed doors where industry outnumbers civil rights orgs, unions & critical thinkers.

Free and flexible textbooks and resources - @OpenStax
Geared towards college level but there are a number of high school resources worth exploring.
Test banks, answer guides, slide decks, Google Forms quizzes, PDFs - the resources are extensive

Together, @goshcommunity has come a long way in advancing #openhardware for science in the last 5 years. In this session, we surfaced recommendations from >50 unconference sessions at #GOSH2022 and suggested four as collective community projects that we could achieve in 2 years.
An important moment: time to revisit @GOSHCommunity Roadmap, originally written in 2017, adding the insights from #GOSH2022 sessions.

It's only been four years since the pioneering work of #GenderShades, and look how far we've come. Thank you @Abebab and @nature for honoring this work: xitter.gq/NatureNV/status/158470…
As part of @nature’s special issue on #racisminscience, @abebab looks at the massive effect that the #gendershades study had on revealing the racial bias of facial-recognition algorithms. go.nature.com/3TxQhRb
