C

Corey State TraffordHost

0:54

So today we're going to be talking about the new COINTELPRO, what that actually looks like.

C

Corey State TraffordHost

0:59

So COINTELPRO is there is.

C

Corey State TraffordHost

1:04

I just, you know, we decided to call this episode the new COINTELPRO.

C

Corey State TraffordHost

1:07

We're not saying the FBI calls it a new program, the new COINTELPRO.

C

Corey State TraffordHost

1:11

Right, because that's going to be very

O

O.J. Kenyatta JohnsonHost

1:12

controversial.

O

O.J. Kenyatta JohnsonHost

1:15

But that's why we got to get into it.

O

O.J. Kenyatta JohnsonHost

1:17

Got to get into the whole thing.

O

O.J. Kenyatta JohnsonHost

1:18

But they will claim that it's not COINTELPRO.

O

O.J. Kenyatta JohnsonHost

1:21

And I see both sides.

O

O.J. Kenyatta JohnsonHost

1:23

So to be fair.

C

Corey State TraffordHost

1:25

Right.

C

Corey State TraffordHost

1:25

Right.

C

Corey State TraffordHost

1:26

So before.

Corey State TraffordHost

1:29

So what I did today, I created a presentation.

C

Corey State TraffordHost

1:31

We're going to touch on some things and how the new COINTELPRO looks like.

C

Corey State TraffordHost

1:36

And then I actually found a couple of cases or instances where artificial intelligence, AI has actually been used to falsely incriminate black people, African people.

C

Corey State TraffordHost

1:49

Excuse me, particularly.

C

Corey State TraffordHost

1:52

with dealing with computer vision, which ties directly into what we talked about with Dr. Timnit, which seemed to be the, the key event where there was, she seen a photo or image that related a black woman to being a gorilla looking like a gorilla.

C

Corey State TraffordHost

2:06

So, um, before I go into that, um, OJ, I would love for you to kind of give a brief overview of what COINTELPRO was, and then I'll go ahead and go into, um, the presentation.

O

O.J. Kenyatta JohnsonHost

2:19

Yeah.
