The next step is for us all to fill it with stories, faces and lives. Write your memories of them, share their photos. Remembering is resistance. ✊🏽
Today, we're releasing @untildatabase, a community-led database of Palestinians killed in the Israeli assault on Gaza. Check it out at until.radicaldata.org
To support the work (through translations, sources, testimonials, design etc) write to us here or on the contact form 🇵🇸

AI journalism has a hype problem. To move past the cycle of reacting to each story, @sayashk and I analyzed over 50 pieces from 5 prominent outlets. We've compiled a list of recurring pitfalls that readers should watch out for and journalists should avoid. aisnakeoil.substack.com/p/ei…

Today a man on a motorbike stopped, looked straight in my eyes and spat in my face. I was on the way to see my partner's DJ set at @amsterdampride.

We're listening 👂🏽 This is an overlooked part of the story, possibly because the most public critics of data are linked to these same institutions (MIT alone published #datafeminism and are core contributors to @AJLUnited).
We often say 'look at the data' but maybe we should say 'look under the data': Who created it? Why? and How? #radicaldata #datafeminism #datajustice #dataethics #digitalhumanities #Statistics #datascience #dataforgood #algorithmicbias #codedbias
Our work on data colonialism starts with acknowledging that this is just part of the same long history of colonial power, (neo)liberalism and racism. Throughout history, we've learnt different tactics to subvert that power. Next up: AI.
In Latin America, we talk about multiple colonisations. From Colombus to the US-backed military coups across the continent, there's nothing 'new' about continued colonial power. Boats, guns, neoliberal finance, AI... Same colonialism, new tools.
Today Jo will be talking about our work, heartbreaks with big tech and why the 'data for good' movement needs to think a little harder about what 'good' means. Chuffed to be sharing our thoughts at @DA4SG's #goodtechfest alongside organisations like @DataKind and @TheGovLab
In the post-fake-news era, can we continue to trust in the digital world? At @DAZ_DigitalArt in Zurich, Radical Data capitán Jo Kroese (@joekroese) joined a panel of experts to find out if we can - and if we should.

I made a bot that leaves a comment on any solid images found in the #blacklivesmatter tag on IG. Hope this will help clear up the hashtag and allow info to be found easily. I might need help scaling it, will put on GitHub soon #BlackTechTwitter

It’s the 200th anniversary Florence Nightingale’s birth. She was the first woman to be a fellow of the Royal Statistical Society - here’s her application form which I took a photo of when I worked there. We can see her data driven approach today in how we respond to Covid-19

Feels good to get back to the blackboard and chalk life! Thanks to the good folk at @BayesCentre & @EdinburghUni for having me come to speak about using statistics and data science for good. #Statistics #DataScience #researchers #aiforgood

I’ve done a few projects in ocean science and can confirm: it's a great area for data scientists and techies to contribute to protecting the environment.
And this looks like a cool way to start getting amongst it:
