#AI integration across most aspects of business and life is inevitable. But we’re still at the beginning and AI use cases continue to be tested, including in determining who is a good credit risk, who gets hired, who is seen by a driverless car while crossing the street, and who gets to be an apprentice. Now—at the headwaters of the technology’s development and as businesses and the regulatory responses are taking shape—is the time to be intentional about design and implementation. Sixth Street Co-Founder and Co-President David Stiepleman recently sat down with award-winning AI researcher and best-selling author Dr. Joy Buolamwini for a conversation about, in the words of her organization The Algorithmic Justice League, getting the world to “remember that who codes matters, how we code matters, and that we can code a better future.” The conversation took place this summer at the Westbound Equity Partners Summit. Westbound Equity Partners is an early-stage investment firm deploying financial and social capital to build great companies and close gaps for underrepresented talent. Thank you to the Westbound Equity team for having us and to Dr. Buolamwini for the important and timely discussion.
