Nadia and Rob welcome Health Equity and AI expert Dr. Maia Hightower to learn about how bias in AI drives healthcare inequity and how her startup, Equality AI, works to disrupt that bias. Also, Rob coaches on efforts to collect detailed demographic information and our co-hosts discuss how pay transparency laws led to discrimination lawsuits against SpaceX and efforts to lessen the sales tax burden on period product users. Later, Nadia salutes our newest woman Nobel Prize winner and Rob lays out why he won't be going to Disney World anytime soon.
