This is both terrific research and absolutely beautiful presentation of data. Adding this to my 'recommended readings' on AI and ethical implications - super smart and affecting work.

This is a powerful use case of how tech and digital is exclusionary and extractive by default, unless communities push back to rein in on it. Folks think this just happens 'over there, where there is a crisis'. That's BS. Tech left alone is never 'for good'.
