Ruha Benjamin was the NOMA conference keynote this year and it’s illustrative of the differences between organizations like the AIA and a minority focused group like NOMA on the topic du jour, AI. This linked essay is far less of a rosy picture than what was presented at our local AIA conference.

In the fifth essay of the Legacies of Eugenics series, Ruha Benjamin explores how AI evangelists wrap their self-interest in a cloak of humanistic concern.
