PyConAU

August 18, 2023 August 20, 2023

I’m headed to PyconAu for two talks this year, I’ll be presenting Roll for Initiative as a keynote on the Friday and Gender Tapestry on the Saturday.

Roll for Initiative
Your team has gathered to fight bias, your tool, AI. How do you muster your forces and all of the abilities at your disposal to fight and slay your fearsome foe? Using all of the lawful and chaotic good tools available, how do you create a balanced party and slay the Beasts of Bias; racism, sexism and queerphobia? Can it be done? Venture together with me into the seedier side of AI as we band together to fight algorithmic injustice and create a better world.

Gender Tapestry
What is gender? It is easy to imagine gender as a linear spectrum, but in my research I have explored the concept that gender is more like a three dimensional spectrum of color. I posit that we all experience gender slightly differently, just like we experience color slightly differently. Therefore, I built an online project using Python and Flask to classify people as individual colors rather than genders, to create a tapestry of gender. and show gender as a literal, individual, spectrum.
