"Michelle Lee said Thursday there is an “unconscious bias” in tech, but it isn’t just specific to women. Lee was speaking at POLITICO’s Women Rule event. Lee, the undersecretary of commerce for intellectual property and director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, challenged leaders to make sure they’re giving equal jobs to men and women. “Unconscious bias applies to both men and women,” said Lee, the first woman to serve as director of the Patent and Trademark Office."
Issues and developments related to IP, AI, and OM, examined in the IP and tech ethics graduate courses I teach at the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information. My Bloomsbury book "Ethics, Information, and Technology", coming in Summer 2025, includes major chapters on IP, AI, OM, and other emerging technologies (IoT, drones, robots, autonomous vehicles, VR/AR).
