About Ayush Kumar

The 2016 election slowly eroded our trust in data. Cambridge Analytica used it to manipulate an election; Facebook's algorithms feasted upon our anger, and Clearview AI was selling facial recognition tech to authoritarian governments. I define my work in opposition to using data for evil. Data has tremendous power to elucidate inequality, build resilient communities, and restore trust in our systems. I strive to use data for good as a data scientist, storyteller, and leader.
