Data, Linguistics & AI Ethics with Sarah Schlobohm

Sarah Schlobohm is shaping the careers of graduates entering the data industry - and making Artificial Intelligence (AI) ethics top of the agenda.As Head of AI at Kubrick Group, a London-based data consultancy rapidly growing in the UK and US, Sarah couples teaching how to programme artificial intelligence with an emphasis on thinking critically about the ethical and regulatory challenges that this same technology brings.Struggling to choose between specialising in Linguistics or Physics after her undergraduate degree, her passion for science lead her to choose the latter, gaining a PhD in particle physics at the University of Washington before ‘accidentally’ becoming a chartered accountant and forging a career in data science.But Linguistics might have lead Sarah down the same path, she shares, because it’s a love of language - human or computer programming - that makes the potential of data so alluring.We cover how words in any language encode powerful meaning, the need for public awareness about how data is being used to influence us, and how to move datasets towards representing the diversity of society they should be serving.
