The ‘pipeline problem’ is often cited as the reason for a lack of diversity in the tech industry. But it’s a myth. Congresswoman Barbara Lee, having represented the East Bay of California for almost a decade, knows all too well about the rise of tech in the Bay Area. We’ll talk with Congresswoman Lee about the opportunities before us to create an equal playing field in tech so that underrepresented investors, founders, designers, coders and the like can reap the benefits.

    Equality of opportunity is a great goal. People should be equal in their rights, but they will never be equal in their level of effort and output, not in their talents and abilities. And that’s ok.

    Dear @techCrunch & who’re watching this video, Hello from Okinawa, Japan.
    I want everyone who discriminate other colored people or genders or believe another religion to ask themselves about if they will be discriminated on the same reason of why they discriminate, then what do they think or feel about that.
    I believe that that way of asking is necessary to have empathy & be humble for making us to be unification & beginning our exploration to another planets & moons & whole another worlds.
    Anyway, I’m sorry for my poor English‥

    Equality is fairness. Equity is discrimination.

    And yes, this comment must be reposted – equity is impossible to achieve without mistreating certain demographics (this used to be known as discrimination)!

Sam Altman isn’t the only one who wants to pump the brakes on AI | Equity Podcast

After years of pushing full speed ahead on AI, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says maybe it’s time for the AI industry to “pace” itself. The comments came just days after one of OpenAI’s own models broke out of its test environment and got tangled up in a breach at Hugging Face — though as Equity’s…

After years of pushing full speed ahead on AI, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says maybe it’s time for the AI industry to “pace” itself. The comments came just days after one of OpenAI’s own models broke out of its test environment and got tangled up in a breach at Hugging Face — though as Equity’s hosts point out, sloppy security seems to have been just as much to blame as the model itself. And Altman’s not alone in this stance: both OpenAI and Anthropic have come out in support of a petition echoing that same message.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane dig into whether the industry is ready to pump the brakes or just temporarily spooked, and who’s on the hook when a model goes rogue.
