  1. Ethical AI
  2. Fairness & Justice
  3. Humans & Tech
  4. Privacy

This edition opens with AI and the Face: A Historian’s View — a long-form piece by Edward Higgs (Professor of History at the University of Essex) about the unscientific history of facial analysis, and how AI might be repeating some of those mistakes at scale.
