AI Diagnosed Her With Breast Cancer - So She Decied to See How Accurate It Was | HackerNoon
Briefly

Meredith Broussard, a prominent AI scholar, critiques the overconfidence in technology as a solution for all problems, a notion she terms 'technochauvinism.' In her latest book, "More than a Glitch," she explores how AI influences everyday experiences, highlighting its biases, such as in racial recognition in technology. Broussard aims to make her work accessible to people across tech-literacy levels, offering clear explanations rather than only targeting academics or tech developers. Her insights aim to demystify AI and encourage critical examination of its impact on society.
AI is just math. It's very complicated, beautiful math. Another way of thinking about it: AI is statistics on steroids. In my new book, "More than a Glitch," I try to demystify AI.
My book is written for people of all tech-literacy levels. You can tell Broussard is a teacher as well as a scholar; she's not afraid to explain some of the most obscure issues in plain words.
