Hi, I’m Lesley. I’m a Senior Intelligent Automation Developer, a new mum, and just to make sure I really do keep myself busy, the creator and writer behind the Ethics & Bias in Technology (EBIT) blog. It’s nice to meet you!

Are the online communities you’re part of really lifting you up, or draining your energy? How do you know the difference between a healthy online ‘clique’ vs a superficial ‘click’?

Take the quiz and share your results with #CliqueOrClick

Text “are you in a clique, or a click? Take the quiz and find out!” overlays an abstract design of circuit boards Text “our online communities are part of who we are. But how do we know which ones are genuine, and which ones just want our clicks?” overlays an abstract design of circuit boards A chart showing the differences between clique communities and click communities.  

Cliques are two-sided, supportive, inclusive, energising.

Clicks are one-sided, promotional, exclusive, draining. Text “take the quiz and share your results with hashtag clique or click” overlays an abstract design of circuit boards

Building trust starts with making tech inclusive and demonstrating the benefits it can bring (when used responsibly and ethically). The media often focus on the negatives, and change can be scary. We can shift the narrative and drive positive change through collaboration, conversation and education

When tech evolves faster than understanding, mistrust fills the gap. It’s more important than ever to understand the impact of tech, and you’re not alone!

EBIT explores tech in an accessible, jargon-free way. If there’s anything you’d like me to cover let me know #AI #Tech #ParentingTips #TechHelp

Last month on the EBIT blog Santa had a dilemma. His new AI to determine which children had been naughty or nice had difficulties with fairness. In my latest post we explore the concept of AI fairness, without the technical jargon👇

The weirdest thing about writing these days is that you almost have to relearn how to write so it doesn’t get flagged as AI-generated. Now I’m not even sure if I am human.

I love websites like these that demonstrate how much data can be accurately inferred from a small amount of metadata, like a photo. Helping people to make conscious, informed decisions about what they share is critical in modern society and something I’m passionate about.

On a train at rush hour that’s standing room only and not a single person on my carriage is speaking. Complete silence. I don’t get rush hour trains often. Is this normal? #commute #tech #eerie

What if the demise of humanity isn’t robots becoming more human, but humans becoming more robotic? As we automate our lives and rely on algorithms, are we losing the very qualities that make us human? #Humanity #AI #Philosophy #FutureTech #AIEthics #Automation #LetsTalk
