b'Today we\\u2019re joined by returning guest and newly appointed Dean of the College of Engineering at The Ohio State University, Ayanna Howard.\\xa0\\n Our conversation with Dr. Howard focuses on her recently released book, Sex, Race, and Robots: How to Be Human in the Age of AI, which is an extension of her research on the relationships between humans and robots. We continue to explore this relationship through the themes of socialization introduced in the book, like associating genders to AI and robotic systems and the \\u201cself-fulfilling prophecy\\u201d that has become search engines.\\xa0\\n We also discuss a recurring conversation in the community around AI\\xa0 being biased because of data versus models and data, and the choices and responsibilities that come with the ethical aspects of building AI systems. Finally, we discuss Dr. Howard\\u2019s new role at OSU, how it will affect her research, and what the future holds for the applied AI field.\\xa0\\n The complete show notes for this episode can be found at https://twimlai.com/go/460.'
