I think big data companies only like good news. So I think they're just hoping that they don't get sued, essentially.

We can't just throw something out there and assume it works just because it has math in it.

There's less of a connection for a lot of people between the technical decisions we make and the ethical ramifications we are responsible for.

People are starting to be very skeptical of the Facebook algorithm and all kinds of data surveillance.

I think what's happened is that the general public has become much more aware of the destructive power of Wall Street.

When people are not given an option by some secret scoring system, it's very hard to complain, so they often don't even know that they've been victimized.

I would argue that one of the major problems with our blind trust in algorithms is that we can propagate discriminatory patterns without acknowledging any kind of intent.

Every system using data separates humanity into winners and losers.

The most important goal I had in mind was to convince people to stop blindly trusting algorithms and assuming that they are inherently fair and objective.

I know how models are built, because I build them myself, so I know that I'm embedding my values into every single algorithm I create and I am projecting my agenda onto those algorithms.

For whatever reason, I have never separated the technical from the ethical.

How much you love yourself will define how much you can love others.

We all look to have transcendent experiences that lift us out of the everyday, and fear is a good one. But, I think it's the same reason why people want to laugh their heads off.

I was always annoyed by too much explaining.

In France, they make you feel that you cannot be two things at the same time. You can't be French and Arabic; you can't be French and Muslim.

The business of America is not business. Neither is it war. The business of america is justice and securing the blessings of liberty.

To come home and share life experiences with friends is the key to what makes me feel really alive.

To suppose that whatever God requireth of us that we have power of ourselves to do, is to make the cross and grace of Jesus Christ of none effect.

Find your passion, and it's no longer work.

You need to face what you're running from
