Message
“As an avid cook, I was thrilled to become a part of the Gastronomy team, where I hope to contribute to the creation of AI tools that help reveal memorable and aesthetically pleasing visual content. I admire and share as a priority Sony AI’s commitment to examining the scientific and social impacts of AI algorithms. In my AI ethics role, I am currently developing auditing tools that can be used to assess the visual diversity of datasets. Through this work, I hope to ensure that datasets accurately represent the visual diversity that exists within and across all demographic groups.”
