Description

Join us this Black History Month for a Book Club discussion on "Unmasking AI" by Dr. Joy Buolamwini, a leading voice in ethical AI and founder of the Algorithmic Justice League.

This thought-provoking book delves into the biases embedded in AI technologies and their impact on marginalized communities, sparking conversations about equity and justice in tech. This event will conclude a month of guided discussions on Slack, culminating in a facilitated live conversation on Zoom where we’ll share takeaways, insights, and reflections.

This event is included as part of Career Collective membership. Apply today for the opportunity to access this event and the full member-based career platform.

Prerequisites:

None! This workshop is designed for beginners.

About This Program

Who this is for

  • "I'm curious about technology and the tech sector"
  • “I use technology in my role, but I’m afraid of falling behind”
  • “Digital skills haven’t been a big part of my job yet, but I think they could make my job better”
  • “I’m looking for new tech-related skills to support my career growth”
  • “I have an understanding of the evolving tech landscape, but need professionals to connect with to make decisions about my place in it”
  • “I’m interested in networking and learning with others"
This event is open to all adults 18+, designed in a way that seeks to explicitly welcome people with underrepresented genders—this includes cis women, trans women, trans men, non-binary people, and others who are marginalized because of their gender identity or expression. We believe that addressing the gender gap in tech is just one part of building digital equity. A more just and equitable future for technology in Canada means building programming that supports, empowers, and equips all learners who historically have been—and continue to be—underrepresented in tech, particularly Black, Indigenous and other Racialized learners, people in low-income communities and newcomer learners If this sounds like you, we can’t wait to have you learn with us.
