In this Q&A episode of Season 3 of the Demystifying Diversity Podcast, host Daralyse Lyons is joined by co-hosts Zack James and Azaria Keys as they explore the lessons learned in last week's podcast, Moving Beyond Biases: A Technological Approach. This episode delves more deeply into the issues raised about how technology can be biased, and/or create biased outcomes. Then, Daralyse sits down with legal expert Liz Brown as the two explore issues regarding technology and privacy laws within the workplace.

In this episode, you will learn about:

* How tech itself may or may not be biased, but the uses of tech can be, whether consciously or otherwise.

* How tech is developed by people who have their own sets of biases, and how these biases can translate to the technology itself.

* How data and information may not be protected, based on the state you live in.

* The importance of employees asking the right questions of their company's General Council and Human Resource teams in understanding how customer data is used.

* How intersectionality comes into play in determining someone's access to and adoption of technology over time.
