Amazing article on Jarell Oshodi, Esq, CIPP-US, CIPM by AFROTECH. “In January 2024, as AFROTECH? previously reported, “a complaint was filed against Rite Aid for using artificial intelligence-based software in hundreds of its stores to identify people that they believed were ‘deemed likely to engage in shoplifting or other criminal behavior.'” At the time, it was said that the chain had “unfairly targeted people of color.” “I want to ensure that advancements in AI don’t perpetuate biases or create new forms of discrimination,” Oshodi told AFROTECH? in an email interview. “It’s important to have inclusive policies that safeguard the privacy rights of all individuals, especially those from underrepresented groups.” - Jarell O.

Our first BlackGirlsHack Book Club is coming up on January 31st (This Wednesday) and the book we'll be reviewing is our founder Tennisha Virginia M.'s #1 Best Selling co-authored book with The Black Women in Cyber Collective called Securing our Future! Barnes and Nobles: https://lnkd.in/gtjS3DWM Amazon: https://lnkd.in/e3GujEcP The book club is open to all!! "This book offers solace, unity, and motivation for those who feel marginalized in the realm of technology and cyber, inviting them to discover a supportive community and the courage to amplify their voices. Moreover, it provides an eye-opening experience for those who are part of the majority and haven't experienced being "othered" in this industry. It serves as the key we have long sought after, unveiling the secrets to cultivating a positive professional journey in cyber careers. Cyberspace comprises technology, people, and policy, each crucial in mitigating cyber risks. Navigating this ever-changing landscape affects societal norms, culture, geopolitics, law, economics, personal security, national security, and international security. What captivates me about the cyber industry is its intellectual rigor, broad applicability, multidisciplinary problem-solving, technical foundation, and the opportunities it offers society. I find fulfillment in aiding others, expanding access to services, driving societal progress, fostering opportunities, and safeguarding our homes and lives." Next month's book is: February 28th -?The Phoenix Project? https://lnkd.in/emSMY6Qk #aiart #blackgirlshack #bookclub #reading #cybersecurity #blackincyber #blackintech #mysquadhacks #blkwicc Black Girls In Cyber Empow(H)er Cybersecurity
