AI may soon use our voice to diagnose illness
June 08, 2023 05:00 - 16 minutes - 23 MBWe humans are social animals, and we communicate a lot with our voices - much more than just in the words we speak. So if our voices can communicate emotion, can they also communicate health markers? Well, apparently so. Increasingly, AI research is looking at using AI voice analysis to diagnose everything from common colds to cancer, as well as mental health markers. It could be a huge opportunity in the healthcare space, but also in professional settings as a tool in the belt of...

Hiring outside the box: How diversity of thought is changing STEM
April 20, 2023 05:00 - 17 minutes - 24.6 MBThe tech industry is ever-changing, and with new processes and technologies comes demand for new skillsets. Unfortunately, the traditional STEM degree to graduate placement to hire route is still how most people make it into the industry.

Why poor AI is skewing representation
March 09, 2023 06:00 - 15 minutes - 14.4 MBAI is a great tool for lifting the burden of repeatable, predictable tasks off humans. Until it isn’t. The fact is, a lot of AI is biased and even unconsciously discriminatory. It’s trained on poor, skewed datasets as the result of traditional biases in the tech industry. That means in the real world, unrepresented groups such as women are losing out on opportunities as a result of decisions being made by AI in finance, HR, healthcare, and more. So what can we do to solve this issu...
