I've followed her ever since I've watched Coded Bias three years ago for my college classes. This book gives a more personal insight on Joy's experience in as a graduate student in MIT Media and Sciences and beyond her PhD, being one of the few Black women. I learned a lot more about the doubts she had coming to terms that technology is not neutral and how she presented her findings to her colleagues as well as the Supreme Court.

I wonder what Joy thinks of AI right now with OpenAI and how other forms of oppression play into the algorithmic biases of AI. Furthermore, I wish she went more in depth about learning the harmful uses of AI like around the world.
