We talk a lot about fairness in AI, but rarely about where fairness lives. Hint: it’s not just in your dataset. This session dives into the technical stack decisions, data engineering, inference orchestration, cloud storage models, and pipeline governance that shape AI behavior long before it reaches the interface.

Led by Rakia Finley, Fractional CTO and founder of Copper & Vine Studio, you’ll explore how today’s cloud-native architectures (including Google Cloud tools) can either scale equity or reinforce bias depending on how they’re structured. With real-world examples from social impact tech, Rakia will show how to align performance with responsibility across the AI lifecycle.
