Kate Crawford
Australian Writer
If you have rooms that are very homogeneous, that have all had the same life experiences and educational backgrounds, and they're all relatively wealthy, their perspective on the world is going to mirror what they already know. That can be dangerous when we're making systems that will affect so many diverse populations.
Quote examples
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
French Philosopher

We know the history of his bones, but no ordered place has yet been found in nature for his reflective intelligence.

Quote examples
Selman Waksman
Russian Scientist

American Musician

English Author
