Excellent Presentation

This was really interesting. I wish sessions like this weren't necessary.

The topic was very interesting. I loved hearing about the implicit bias in AI - something I never thought about. Excellent program.

The four presenter format is great for holding attention. I especially appreciated the insights about how the AI doesn't remove inherent bias, but instead may perpetuate it.
