📚 Books
Read Unmasking AI by Joy Buolamwini. "My experiences with biased AI systems, literally forced me to look at topics I did not wish to face like algorithmic discrimination...I still believe in the promise of AI...we can change the trajectory of how AI is designed and deployed." Joy was in my Harvard Kennedy class, and she's brilliant.
🎵 Music
Listen to Ammu's Treasures by Chandrika Tandon. Epic 3-volume-work for children, with 35 songs, 21 chants which span 2 hours and 17 minutes across languages, genres, and complexity. "Every musician in the room, captivated by the purity and spirit of the songs, urged me to create a fuller album as a gift for children and for anyone who had a hole in their heart for love." Favorites: "Kookaburra" & "Miller of the Dee" (feat. Béla Fleck)
📽️ Film
Watch The Artist directed by Michel Hazanavicius. An egomaniacal film star develops a relationship with a young dancer against the backdrop of Hollywood's silent era. I watched this on the plane, and it kept me awake...
