Wow. @emilymbender, University of Washington computational linguist, deconstructs algorithmic tools, aka automation.

β€œ#AI” is a marketing term dating to the 1950s, when it was employed to secure research dollars.

What is being automated?
By whom and why?
Who benefits?
Who is being harmed?
How well does it work?
Who is accountable?
What laws/regulations apply to what is being automated?

Well worth the ~5 minute investment
