- Alaskans address violence against Asian Americans and racial bias in tech | Alaska Insight
- Runtime

- Description
- Racial bias permeates government policy and justice systems. It's also ubiquitous in the technology that we engage with on a daily basis. Artificial intelligence uses data to make predictions about who we are and what we’ll most likely do. That bias can gradually find its way into other parts of our lives and manifest violently, as we've seen with the recent attacks against Asian Americans in the U.S.
Lori Townsend discusses Coded Bias, a documentary about inherent bias in algorithms, and how to combat harmful stereotypes and racism with University of Alaska, Anchorage professors Kenrick Mock and E.J.R. David and community organizer Lynette Pham.

- Description
- Among the many things that changed because of the pandemic, is how we think about
food. More people are cooking at home, some restaurants are struggling to adapt to a take-out
model, and there have been shortages of everything from bread yeast to canning jars. Alaskans
have had a unique and self-reliant food culture for generations. We’ll discuss how the
coronavirus is affecting it, on the next Talk of Alaska. Tuesday morning starting at 10, on KSKA-FM and Facebook Live.
