"We currently have a system in which power over the judicious and
ethical use of data is overwhelmingly concentrated among white men.
Research shows that the unconscious biases that emerge from a person’s
upbringing and experiences can be baked into technology, resulting in
negative consequences for minority groups."

Kudos to my employer for proactively being far more diverse than the
average.
