The controversy echoed into the broader AI community, eventually leading to the former\u2019s departure from Twitter.  In our conversation with Deb, we dig into these stories in depth, discussing the origins of Deb\u2019s work on the Gender Shades project, how subsequent work put a spotlight on the potential harms of facial recognition technology, and who holds responsibility for dealing with underlying bias issues in datasets.
