Datasets (particularly benchmarks) are infrastructure: a foundation for other tools & tech, tending to seep into the background, shaped by specific aims, seeming natural from one perspective but jarring from another

Focusing on *transparency* of a ML system without plausible actions of being able to change aspects of that system
are a Pyrrhic victory. *Contestability*, however, allows us
to critically engage within the system.

Let's move beyond insufficient training data as
the sole "solution" to discriminatory outcomes.
Gathering
more training data from populations which are already extensively surveilled ignores how data-gathering operations can serve as another
form of "predatory inclusion"

Power imbalances in Machine Learning. Technical community has control over:
- what data is collected
- what data is used
- how much to reveal about training dataset
- choosing models
- interpreting outputs
- assessment & verification
- deployment of models @JamelleWD #PAML2020

Reclaim data narratives with intention
Ex: covid-19 racial disparities
False, harmful narrative: due to genetics or Black people being uncareful or unhealthy
Reclaimed, accurate narrative: racism NOT race is the root, unequal access, lower quality of care, structural barriers,
