Tracy Chou is a 31-year-old programmer — and “an
absolute rock star,” as her former boss Ben Silbermann, the CEO
and co-founder of Pinterest, once said. Yet for all her street cred,
Chou still finds herself grappling with one of the biggest
problems in the industry: Female programmers are regarded
skeptically, and sometimes even treated with flat-out hostility.
She’s seen the same pattern of behavior personally during her
decade in coding: colleagues who muse openly about whether
women are biologically less wired to be great programmers.
There’s a deep irony here — because women were in
computing from its earliest days. Indeed, they were considered
essential back when “computers” were not even yet machines.
Just before the digital age emerged, computers were humans.
And for a time, a large portion of them were women.
Soon, the human computers faced an even more
existential threat: digital computers, which promised to work
with far greater speed and to handle complex math.
Women, though, were among the original coders of these
strange new digital brains, because in the early days
programming was seen as dull work. The earliest programmers
for the Eniac — the military-funded first programmable
general-purpose computer — were entirely women. And though
they wound up inventing brilliant coding techniques, they
received none of the glory: When the Army showed off the Eniac
to the press, it did not introduce the women who had written
the code.

Chou has witnessed other programmers considering out loud the innate impossibility of women being great coders.

Data art is a form of digital art that uses data as a medium
or source material to create visually appealing and meaningful
representations. It often involves the use of algorithms, software,
and technology to turn data into something that can be seen, such
as a graph, chart, or animation. The goal is to convey emotions to
the audience by sharing insights, patterns, or stories hidden
within the data in an accessible and creative way. Data artist
Kirell Benzi adds that, because it is based on data, the piece has a
more objective truth behind its construction and does not solely
come from the artist’s imagination.
Still emerging, Data Art has nonetheless existed for
decades. What stands it apart, from the other digital art
categories, is the complex interaction between material, process,
and expression.
The artist Aaron Koblin once argued that “data can make
us more human”. As part of a project to put this forward, he made
Flight Patterns. The summary purpose explains it all:
Interpreting a series of flight data and, once processed, a wide
range of human behaviors appears. It is how we all flow through
technology.

As new technologies take on increasingly humanlike
qualities, there’s been a push to make them genderless. Apple’s
Siri digital assistant unveiled a gender-neutral option last year,
and when asked about their gender identities, the AI chatbots
ChatGPT and Google Bard each reply, “I do not have a gender.”
There have been concerns over gendering technology,
since doing so reinforces societal stereotypes. That happens
because the stereotypes commonly associated with men, such as
competitiveness and dominance, are more valued than those
associated with women. That is likely true, says Ashley Martin, a
professor at Stanford University. “People are stereotyping their
gendered objects in very traditional ways,” she says.
Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a
simple way to fix this. Yet, as Martin has found in her latest
research, conducted with Malia Mason, of Columbia Universty,
gender is one of the fundamental ways people form connections
with objects, particularly those designed to evoke human
characteristics.
Throughout the experiments, Martin and Mason found
that gender increased users’ feelings of attachment to devices
such as digital voice assistants –– and their interest in purchasing
them. For example, participants said they would be less likely to
buy a genderless voice assistant than versions with male or
female voices.

In many parts of the world colonial hegemony has
resulted in the dominance of the coloniser's language at the
expense of native languages. The suppression of indigenous
languages is intricately connected with mental health problems.
Indigenous youth with less knowledge of their native language
are six times more likely to have suicidal ideation than those
with greater language knowledge. Language suppression impairs
self-identity, wellbeing, self-esteem, and empowerment.
Just as language extinction can affect mental health, so
can reinstating a language. Aboriginal youth who are capable of
speaking their native language are less likely to consume alcohol
or use illicit substances at risky amounts, and are less likely to be
exposed to violence. Moreover, knowledge of indigenous
languages is associated with a decrease in youth suicide by 50% a
year.
The digital recording of indigenous languages might be
useful for documentation, restoration, promotion, and education.
Sufficient fund allocation is required to recover and store the
alphabets of indigenous languages. Separate indigenous language
educational institutes, in which researchers and mental health
professionals can work in cooperation, are also extremely
necessary. These concerted efforts might help result in the
renewal of a given indigenous language and potentially reduce
mental health problems.
