My Tech Journey with Abeba Birhane (PhD)

Dr. Abeba Birhane earned her first salary as a DJ in Bahir Dar before becoming a cognitive science PhD researcher at University College Dublin. Fearless about challenging the status quo, her co-authored research pushed MIT to take down its 80-million-image dataset over racist content — and she argues robots shouldn't get rights, because that only hands more power to their manufacturers.
