An ethical application of AI will constantly question who is excluded (intentionally or not) by the models.
If we can manage the extremes, then everyone can have an equitable experience.
A great piece on @GovLoop by CivicActioners Emily Ryan and @mgifford on the #ethics of inclusive #AI.

Then explain the emotion through sight, sound, and smell.
It created "Meldoria", and it's absolutely incredible:

LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky
"Pre-pandemic,~1% of all jobs posted on LinkedIn were remote. As of today, that number is ~14%...but that's not the fascinating part. What's fascinating is north of 50% of all job applications on a daily basis on LinkedIn go to that 14% of remote jobs"

This is a *very* powerful move. Every government - US and foreign, federal, state and local - should have a rule that says, "If we're going to spend public money on your products, you have to promise not to lock us in." 26/
