AI is sold on saving time. Whose time it saves, and what that time gets spent on, is settled before anyone opens the tool, in the defaults someone wrote for it. If we want those defaults to be fair to women, the answer isn’t to sort users by gender. It is to build around the […]

TL;DR: For about a year we have fed our own decisions, debates, and dead ends into a knowledge graph we call AIP.
