   I have a political science degree. I have 17 years’ experience in ‘tech’. I had some early AI ethics training (2019? 2020)?

   I think our STEM-only tunnel vision has led us to precisely this place.

   I think I said in a talk recently: I care about what happens to people (when computers happen)

     That said, I’m certain that with only my political science degree today, I would not get in to this industry. And you have to be in it to bring changes. So it’s a bit of chicken and egg situation as well.

     For now I think there’s a small group of folks I really look up to who bring an obvious humanist lens.

     @skinnylatte engineering always needs to be based on a "well-rounded" education.
