  • Résumé

  • B The Way Forward is back with all-new episodes featuring a slate of incredible guests, taking on some of the biggest issues! Including the one that’s central to activism - can we create real change by working within the system? Or do we need to break it to fix it? Featuring arguments for how to tackle making political representation actually representative, debates on whether Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives actually work (and if you can even have DEI without the “E”), tactics for confronting the enormity of climate change without making it worse for the most vulnerable, and of course AI, this season is an even more urgent call to action than our last. Join host and AnitaB.org President and CEO, Brenda Darden Wilkerson, as she and her guests sit down at the mic for frank discussions that will challenge your ideas of what activism looks like, generate new ideas, spur creativity, and hopefully make you think a little more about the perspectives of people outside your bubble. Because whether you believe that our current systems can benefit us all, or if you think real progress demands a revolution, there’s one thing that’s clear. Sitting on the sidelines is not an option. --- At AnitaB.org, we envision a future where the people who imagine and build technology mirror the people and societies for whom they build it. Find out more about how we support women, non-binary individuals, and other underrepresented groups in computing, as well as the organizations that employ them and the academic institutions training the next generations. --- Connect with AnitaB.org Instagram - @anitab_org Facebook - /anitab.0rg LinkedIn - /anitab-org And for more ways that you can be the way forward visit anitab.org --- Our guests contribute to this podcast in their personal capacity.

  • The Environmental Impact of Your Chatbot Habit - Why it Might Be Time to Say Bye to the AI

    The Environmental Impact of Your Chatbot Habit - Why it Might Be Time to Say Bye to the AI
    Feb 12 2025
    Here’s a question; how much water do you think a single query of ChatGPT consumes? What about Carbon Emissions? How many round trip flights between New York and San Francisco equal the Co2 emitted by training one Large Language Model? And maybe this is the most important one - how would you even figure those numbers out when the big AI companies don’t make them public? Concerns about AI’s impact on Climate Change aren’t new, but as extreme weather events like the floods in North Carolina and the wild fires in L.A. become more and more frequent, a lot of us are wondering just how much blame we should lay at AI’s doorstep. How can we make sure that we take our planet into account while continuing to develop this technology? To help us understand the real cost of all our ChatGPT queries and Dall-E diversions, we’re talking to two women who are both fighting for more transparency around these very questions. Dr. Sasha Luccioni, the Climate Lead at AI company Hugging Face, has chosen to fight for more sustainable AI from within an AI company. On the other hand, Yoca Arditi-Rocha, executive director at the CLEO Institute is deeply skeptical that businesses will choose to put the planet above profit on their own accord. Can an Insider approach lead to climate-safe AI? Or is it up to activists and outsiders to make sure that all those AI prompts we thought were saving us so much time don’t end up meaning our planet's time is up that much sooner.

  • Is AI Going to Take My Job? Unpacking How Workers Are Fighting to Protect Their Careers

    Is AI Going to Take My Job? Unpacking How Workers Are Fighting to Protect Their Careers
    Feb 5 2025
    Let’s start with the obvious - There is no putting the AI genie back in the bottle. And frankly, as an organization run by technologists and dedicated to advancing women in tech, we wouldn’t necessarily want to. We believe in the promise of technology. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot to be concerned about with how AI has been developing so far. Near the top of that list for almost everyone is the question “Is AI going to steal my job?” For many creatives, that reality of being replaced by generative AI is already feeling frighteningly possible. So in this episode we take a look at the possible impact of AI on our careers through their eyes. How do we create an ethical world where human workers are valued while still developing AI as a powerful force for good? Can we trust that world to be built by AI companies themselves? Or do activists on the outside of Silicon Valley have to fight to make it real? First up, we talk with Dr. Moiya McTier, an astronomer and Senior Advisor for the Human Artistry CampAIgn, where she advocates for protection and guardrails against AI fraud and cloning among the creative community. Next we talk to award-winning voice over artist and the founder of AI Voice company EthoVox. Instead of waiting for the big AI companies to decimate the artform and community she loves - she created her own company to show how it can be done right. For more, check out Dr. McTier...

  • The Revolution Will Be Democratized - How the Working Families Party Uses Data and Tech to Fight for Change

    The Revolution Will Be Democratized - How the Working Families Party Uses Data and Tech to Fight for Change
    Jan 29 2025
    We started this season by asking what’s the best way to create real change - inside or outside of the established system? But sometimes it feels like the systems we’re trying to improve are just too entrenched; it can be hard to imagine any approach being successful. And there might not be anyplace where that feels more true than in our politics. But Jennifer Knox, the National Director of Organizing and Tech for the Working Families Party doesn’t believe we have to be stuck with the system we have. WFP is a third party that recruits and runs their own candidates. But they’re also an activist organization that advocates for election reforms and supports major party candidates when they see it as the most effective path for change. In a sense, the Working Families Party is both outside and inside the system. And what’s more, they’re at the forefront of using better tech and better data to do the one thing that really matters in any election - win. We talk about balancing sweeping change with practical realities, Fusion Tickets, Ranked Choice Voting and how WFP responded when the major parties blocked their access to the main voter data platform — naturally, they built their very own from the ground up. Most of us can’t imagine a day when we’ll have more than two political parties in the U.S… but after this conversation with Jennifer, you just might change your mind. For more, check out Jennifer...
