The State of AI Ethics Report (January 2021) captures the most relevant developments in AI Ethics since October of 2020.

  1. Algorithmic Injustice
  2. Discrimination
  3. Ethical AI
  4. Labor Impacts
  5. Misinformation
  6. Privacy
  7. Risk & Security
  8. Social Media

The report includes exclusive content written by world-class AI Ethics experts. This edition opens with The Abuse and Misogynoir Playbook — a 20-page joint piece by a group of MIT professors & research scientists (Danielle Wood, Katlyn Turner, Catherine D’Ignazio) about the mistreatment of Dr. Timnit Gebru by Google and the broader historical significance around this event.
