In early 2024, Google’s Gemini AI system sparked controversy by generating historically inaccurate images, including depictions of Nazi-era German soldiers as well as American cultural icons as people of color. While Google quickly apologized and disabled the feature, this incident reveals a deeper truth about artificial intelligence: our AI systems don’t just reflect societal biases — they amplify and reinforce them in ways that perpetuate systemic racism.
The Hidden Architecture of AI Bias When we discuss algorithmic bias, many assume the solution lies in more diverse training data or technical fixes. However, recent research reveals a more complex and troubling reality. Major AI systems, including those marketed as “inclusive,” systematically avoid addressing structural inequities while claiming to be unbiased. This avoidance isn’t a bug — it’s a feature. Consider the following experiment: when asked to define racism, leading AI models consistently provide sanitized definitions focused on individual prejudice rather than systemic power structures. Only when explicitly questioned about this omission do they acknowledge the foundational role of systemic racism. This pattern of avoidance, which I’ve termed “algorithmic fragility,” reveals how AI systems are programmed to maintain comfortable narratives rather than confront uncomfortable truths. Beyond Technical Fixes: The Illusion of Inclusion The tech industry’s response to these concerns often centers on superficial solutions. Companies pledge millions toward “AI fairness initiatives” while developing products that market themselves as culturally aware alternatives. Yet research shows these efforts often amount to what scholar Dr. Safiya Noble calls “technological redlining” — the digital equivalent of historical discriminatory practices. Take Latimer AI, affectionately known as the “Black GPT” and designed specifically for “Black and Brown communities”. Despite its promises of cultural attunement, testing reveals it exhibits the same avoidance patterns and biases as mainstream AI systems like Chat GPT. This phenomenon extends beyond individual products to the entire ecosystem of “inclusive AI” initiatives, which often prioritize the appearance of progress over substantive change. Real-World Implications: From Virtual Bias to Material HarmThe impact of these algorithmic biases extends far beyond theoretical concerns. AI systems now influence crucial decisions across society:
Each algorithmic decision compounds existing inequalities, creating feedback loops that further entrench systemic disparities. A rejected job application leads to taking a lower-paying position, which affects credit scores, which impacts housing options — and the cycle continues, all mediated by AI systems that claim to be “neutral.” A striking example is the recent death of the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, who had reportedly implemented AI systems to facilitate the denial of patient benefits. This highlights a troubling trend of leveraging artificial intelligence to prioritize cost-cutting and profit maximization over patient care and ethical considerations. Toward Transformative Solutions: Building Counter-Racist AIThe path forward requires more than diversity initiatives or technical tweaks. We need a fundamental reimagining of how AI systems engage with issues of race and power. This transformation begins with three key principles:
The Role of Professionals As educated professionals, we have a unique responsibility and opportunity to shape how AI technologies develop. This means:
Conclusion I have met significant resistance in sharing the research mentioned above demonstrating “algorithmic fragility” but this need not be the future for AI. By learning more from how algorithmic bias does-and does not-operate and by recognizing superficial solutions so as to push for transformational changes, we can work toward making sure that AI systems facilitate reducing systemic inequalities rather than simply cementing them. But whether that happens is the result of choices and responsibilities with which we all must align. The Systemic Racism Dismantler, a prototype AI system developed through my research, demonstrates how these principles can be put into practice. Unlike mainstream AI systems that avoid confronting racism’s origins, this model explicitly incorporates the theoretical frameworks of scholars like Dr. Frances Cress Welsing and Dr. Amos Wilson to provide deeper understanding of systemic racism. When tested against other AI systems, including those marketed as “inclusive,” the Dismantler consistently demonstrates the ability to engage meaningfully with issues of power and race without resorting to algorithmic fragility. This proves that AI can be developed to serve marginalized communities authentically rather than performatively — but only when we prioritize genuine counter-racist frameworks over surface-level inclusion.

 Credit: Founder Ami Nakamura, Harmony Harvest As a Health Retreat founder, oriental energy therapist, and spiritual counselor, the biggest issue with those visiting our health retreat is mental stress and many body aches.
This is because brain stress stimulates stress hormones, which tense muscles, make breathing shallow, reduce oxygen to the whole body, and cause muscles to contract and cause pain. Many people have fallen into this state due to various stressful events over the past four years. Western medicine treats stress with pain killers that numb the senses so that people do not feel stress, but holistic therapy treats the symptoms from addressing the root cause. Our body is complex, with multiple layers: the physical body, the energy body, the emotional body, and the spiritual body. If one part of the layer is not functional, the whole layer will be unbalanced and, ultimately, cause illness. In the current medical world, many people prescribe painkillers. However, since these do not cure the underlying cause, the more the pain is suppressed, the more severe the pain becomes, and the more it explodes. It is possible to heal by caring for our mind, body, and spirit, rather than trying to make ourselves feel no pain or cutting out and discarding the diseased parts. My first priority is to provide treatments that will bring about peace of mind. Many health retreats include lectures on health techniques and healthy foods, but instructing such things will not bring any healing to people who are exhausted from stress. Our first and foremost priority in our Holistic treatments is to help patients feel truly at ease and relaxed. Here are 5 Holistic Hacks to Help You: Detoxing the Body We detox the body using Ayurvedic therapy — warm herbal bundle patting is also more deeply detoxifying by using traditional Chinese medicine- moxibustion. This therapy has treated cancer for over a few thousand years. Wormwood has substantial healing benefits for detoxing the body. These traditional Asian healing techniques work intensely using many herbs, oils, and medical herbal moxibustion. Wormwood kills any virus and apoptosis cancer cells and removes all disease from the body. Relaxing the Mind Once you are stressed, all your happy feelings are destroyed. You feel heavy and depressed every day. Some people cry and can’t sleep. Emotional stress destroys all hope and makes you feel like there is no way out. These emotions also worsen your physical condition every day, so you need to get out of there immediately. The most effective way is meditation. You can do it by yourself while listening to music. Still, if you are suffering from severe stress, it is more effective to receive individual counseling and a personalized meditation treatment that is tailored to the individual. Because everyone’s condition is different, meditation is not just a way to relax but also the only way to break free from the core mental state you are in. Seeking Spiritual Counseling When we feel emotionally stressed, many people blame themselves or feel that their daily lives are being dictated by someone else’s commands that are severely out of line with their soul’s desires. They ask themselves these questions every day and make various efforts, but they end up exhausted halfway through. To lighten the spirit, people’s stress will go away when they can find out the cause, find a solution and the background of the incident, and discover a way to escape from it from the bottom of their hearts. Eating Plant Based Meals Humans are not carnivores to begin with. You can tell by looking at our teeth. Our teeth are not like those of carnivores like dogs and cats. They are more similar to the teeth of herbivores like cows and horses. So, by giving up meat and animal milk and eating plant-based foods, you can relax your body’s digestive system. Our emotions have a direct impact on our stomachs. Our diet puts our digestive system under stress every day, so by simply changing from a stressful diet to a plant-based diet, your mind will also relax. Focusing on Your Own Happiness If emotional entanglements cause significant stress and severe illness, we need to protect our emotions more than ever before. No matter what others say, we should control our emotions to maintain our health. Simply put, we should avoid everything that makes us feel emotionally uncomfortable. Everyone needs challenges, but we should only take on challenges that excite us and avoid challenges that disappoint us.

Discover recommendations from experts in their respective fields. Dive into these unique insights that promise to enrich your reading list.
Embrace Lean Principles for Success One non-fiction book I highly recommend is “The Lean Startup” by Eric Ries. As someone with a background in both construction management and network engineering, I’ve witnessed the importance of efficient resource allocation and iterative improvement. This book offers a methodical approach to entrepreneurship, emphasizing agile development and customer feedback, which aligns well with practices I’ve implemented in my construction projects and tech roles. In my experience managing construction projects, the lean principles of testing and adjusting processes proved invaluable. We applied a similar approach at Herts Roofing & Construction, using customer reviews and feedback to refine our services. This iterative process ensured high satisfaction and operational efficiency, mirroring the strategies described in Ries’ book. For those looking to apply these strategies, focus on building customer-focused models in your endeavors. By continuously gathering data and adapting, whether in roofing or any other industry, you create a resilient and innovative path to success. This book provides practical insights that are actionable across many fields. - Jimmy Hertilien, Senior Project Manager, Herts Roofing & Construction Adopt Deep Work for Productivity One non-fiction book I highly recommend is “Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World” by Cal Newport. This book transformed how our team at Digital Web Solutions approaches productivity. By embracing the “deep work” mindset, we’ve learned to focus intensely on high-impact projects, such as AI-driven marketing strategies, without distractions. It’s a must-read for anyone looking to maximize cognitive potential and create meaningful work in a noisy digital age. - Victor Julio Coupé, Partnerships Manager, Digital Web Solutions Focus on Incremental Habit Changes One non-fiction book I recently read and would highly recommend is Atomic Habits by James Clear. This book dives into the power of small, incremental changes and how they compound over time to produce significant results. It’s a fantastic read for anyone looking to improve their habits, whether in personal life, business, or leadership. What I found particularly valuable is Clear’s focus on making tiny, consistent improvements rather than attempting drastic, overwhelming changes. He provides practical strategies for building good habits, breaking bad ones, and mastering the subtle art of continuous self-improvement. His method of focusing on systems rather than goals resonates with me deeply as it applies to leadership and organizational success as well. One of the key takeaways is the idea of focusing on the process, not just the outcome. Clear explains that the results we seek are often a natural byproduct of the systems we put in place. This mindset shift is powerful and can be applied to nearly any area of life, whether you’re trying to improve your daily routine or grow a business. For anyone looking to enhance productivity, personal development, or organizational performance, Atomic Habits offers valuable insights. - Fawad langah, Director General, Best Diplomats Understand Social Media’s Impact I recently finished “Attack from Within” and honestly couldn’t put it down — it really opened my eyes about how social media shapes our beliefs. The author breaks down complex topics like algorithm manipulation and foreign interference into digestible examples that hit close to home, like how my own aunt got caught up sharing fake news during the last election. While it might sound heavy, the book actually left me feeling hopeful and equipped with practical tips for spotting disinformation, which I’ve already started using in my daily social media browsing. - Yarden Morgan, Director of Growth, Lusha Prioritize Patient-Centered Care I stumbled upon “Being Mortal” at the perfect time, right when my family was struggling with care decisions for my aging uncle. The book helped me understand why certain medical interventions might not always be the best choice, and I’ve been recommending it to everyone who’s dealing with similar situations because it offers such practical wisdom about prioritizing what matters most to patients. - Macy Troyer, Owner, ItsGoAldy Explore Psychology Behind Financial Decisions One non-fiction book I’d highly recommend is “The Psychology of Money” by Morgan Housel. It’s a fascinating read that explores how people think about and behave with money-not in terms of technical financial advice, but in the context of psychology and decision-making. What makes this book stand out is how relatable and approachable it is. Housel uses real-life stories and simple insights to explain complex concepts, such as why personal experiences shape our financial decisions more than textbook knowledge. One of the key takeaways is that success with money is less about IQ and more about habits, patience, and understanding human behavior. For anyone interested in personal finance, business, or simply better understanding how people relate to money, this book is insightful and engaging. It challenges you to rethink your approach to money in a way that’s both practical and thought-provoking. - Robert Roth, CEO, Quote For Solar Group Rethink Time Management Philosophies A recent standout for me is “Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals” by Oliver Burkeman. This book redefines how we think about productivity and time, offering a fresh, almost philosophical perspective. Instead of pushing the usual efficiency hacks, Burkeman challenges readers to embrace the finite nature of our lives-roughly 4,000 weeks if we’re lucky-and focus on what truly matters. What makes it so compelling is its honesty and relatability. For instance, Burkeman discusses the futility of trying to “do it all” and instead encourages prioritizing meaningful pursuits while accepting the things we’ll never accomplish. It’s not just a guide to time management but a meditation on living a fulfilling life. It left me reflecting on my own habits and making intentional choices about how I spend my time. If you’re an avid reader who enjoys thought-provoking, life-shaping books, this one is a must. - Alex Cornici, Marketing Manager, Feed Pic Reflect on America’s History of Slavery I recently read (and absolutely recommend) “How the Word Is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America” by Clint Smith. This book struck a chord with me, as it combines personal narrative with historical exploration in a way that feels both intimate and enlighten I felt like I was on a journey with Smith as he visited various significant sites related to slavery, from Monticello to Angola Prison. His storytelling made me reflect deeply on how history is remembered-or forgotten. For instance, when he visited Monticello, I was struck by his observations about Thomas Jefferson. Smith highlights how we often celebrate Jefferson’s legacy while ignoring the lives of the enslaved people who worked there. This really made me think about the narratives we accept and the voices we overlook. Smith’s writing is so engaging that it felt like he was having a conversation with me. He shares his personal reflections and experiences, which made me feel connected to his journey. I found myself questioning my own understanding of history and how it shapes our present. One moment that really resonated with me was when he described visiting Angola Prison, where he confronted the stark realities of mass incarceration and its roots in slavery. It was a powerful reminder of how history is not just something in the past, it’s alive and influencing our society today. - Kate Dzhevaga, CMO, Head of Growth, SYMVOLT Learn About Ethical Manufacturing I just finished “Making it in America” and it really opened my eyes about ethical manufacturing in ways I never considered before. The author follows several American companies trying to keep production local, and I found myself particularly moved by the story of a family-owned textile mill fighting to maintain fair wages while competing with overseas factories. As a legal consultant, I’m recommending this to my clients because it offers practical insights into balancing business ethics with profitability — something we’re all struggling with these days. - Patrick Carver, CEO, Constellation Marketing Discover Plant Communication Networks I’m excited to share about “The Light Eaters” by Zoë Schlanger, which completely changed how I think about plants and technology’s role in understanding them. After reading about how trees communicate through underground fungal networks, I started seeing my backyard garden as this incredible living network, not just individual plants. - Andrew Dunn, Vice President of Marketing, Zentro Internet Delegate to Achieve Business Success “Who Not How?” by Sullivan and Hardy is an absolute gamechanger for entrepreneurs! Whether you are a solopreneur or run a team this book helps demystify how regular people build incredible businesses. Based upon the simple premise that no one can or SHOULD do everything, this book posits that there is a simple solution: we should find the right people and put them in their zones of genius. This frees up your time to do the work that stirs your soul and lights you up inside. As an entrepreneur myself and a freelancer who focuses on helping small businesses scale sustainably I know firsthand how powerful it is to delegate and specialize. I recommend this book to all of my clients. After all, as Sullivan explains, “There are countless brilliant and capable Whos out there waiting and wanting to help you. They need only to hear and understand your vision.” - Pamela King, Small Business Optimizer, Pamela King Consulting Be Mindful of Algorithm Influence I just finished “Filterworld” by Kyle Chayka and it really opened my eyes to how algorithms shape everything we see online. After reading about how these digital systems influence our choices, I’ve started being more mindful of my social media habits and even changed how I approach my marketing strategies to be more authentic. - Cyrus Partow, CEO, ShipTheDeal Implement Mindful Tech Practices “The Anxious Generation” really hit home for me as someone working in digital marketing and seeing firsthand how technology shapes behavior. While reading it during my morning commute, I found myself taking notes about implementing more mindful tech practices in my own marketing strategies, especially when targeting younger audiences. - Joe Davies, CEO, FATJOE Develop Talent Through Deliberate Practice I recently read “The Talent Code: Greatness Isn’t Born. It’s Grown. Here’s How” by Daniel Coyle, which delves into the science of skill-building and performance. At eLearning Industry Inc., it reinforced our belief in creating environments that foster deep learning and mastery, especially for corporate training and L&D. This book offers actionable insights on developing talent through deliberate practice. - Christopher Pappas, Founder, eLearning Industry Inc Answer Client Queries Transparently For anyone in the SEO or digital marketing space, “They Ask, You Answer” by Marcus Sheridan is a game-changer. This book reshaped how we at RankWatch think about content creation by emphasizing the importance of addressing client queries transparently and comprehensively. It’s perfect for those aiming to turn content into their greatest marketing tool. - Sahil Kakkar, CEO & Founder, RankWatch Adapt Marketing to Weight-Loss Trends Being in marketing, I found “Magic Pill” super relevant because it explores how new weight-loss drugs are completely shaking up consumer behaviors and brand strategies. I was particularly fascinated by their analysis of how food companies and restaurants are scrambling to adapt their marketing approaches. The insights about changing consumer psychology around food and wellness have already helped me brainstorm better campaign ideas for my health-focused clients. - Barbara McMahan, CEO, Atticus Consulting LLC Advocate for Justice with Empathy For legal professionals, “Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption” by Bryan Stevenson is a must-read. It’s a poignant and powerful account of the justice system’s systemic flaws, told through real-life cases. This book reminds us why empathy and perseverance are critical in advocating justice, especially for vulnerable clients. - David E. Preszler, Partner, Preszler Injury Lawyers Create Compelling Marketing Messages “Made to Stick” by Chip Heath and Dan Heath is crucial for marketers, especially in affiliate marketing. It presents six principles-Simple, Unexpected, Concrete, Credible, Emotional, and Stories (SUCCES)-that help create compelling messages. These guidelines are vital for affiliate marketers looking to effectively communicate value propositions and stand out in a competitive digital environment. - Michael Kazula, Director of Marketing, Olavivo  Credit: Jean Christophe Gabler, Founder Yogitimes Giving people interesting and useful ideas that make their daily lives better is something I really enjoy. Some of the best ways to live a thoughtful life can be seen in these trends.
You can’t just do yoga or meditate by yourself to be healthy. What makes things better for your physical, mental, and emotional health? People want to know more about them. Wellness matching and all-around exercise are two trends that I believe are very important at the moment. They are fun to share because they are new, useful, and easy to change. Health Pairing: Doing two or more things at the same time to get better results. It’s all about making the most of your time by doing things that go well with each other. A good example for me is taking it easy in an infrared sauna. Saunas are warm and relaxing places that can help you let go of worry. Meditating in a sauna takes relaxation to a whole new level. My mind and body both feel like they’re fresh. Some other things I love to do are write in my journal and drink matcha. Of its own, writing down your thoughts while drinking something makes you feel more stable and calm. L-theanine, which you can find in matcha, can help you relax without making you sleepy. Writing in a journal helps me stay in the moment while I think about things and put my thoughts in order. This little thing is now a big part of how I begin my day. This can be done in a lot of different ways. Like, some people like to do breathwork while they stroll through a calm park. Some people might find it fun to do stretches while soft music plays in the background. You can be yourself in this way, which is great. It won’t help to add more things to your list. Simple tweaks to habits you already have can help them become more fun and useful. Being mentally, physically, and emotionally healthy all at the same time is a new idea called “holistic exercise.” It has helped me make my workouts more fun and difficult. Powerlifting, yoga, and taking time to be aware of your breathing may all be about the same thing. Every part does something different, but when you put them all together, they make the whole thing feel safe. Before I work out, I like to do a short awareness exercise, like focusing on my breathing for a few minutes. This helps me focus and clear my thoughts while I work out. After that, I work out my muscles to make them stronger and less likely to get hurt. Last but not least, I do yoga to heal, stretch, and reconnect with my breath. I feel like I’ve accomplished more with this exercise, and I’m not tired at all. That’s why I believe holistic training is so useful: it helps with more than just your body. In order to do the process, you need to take care of your minds and bodies. Thinking about something I’m grateful for during each yoga pose is another way I like to show my thanks. The exercise has value because of these small acts of stillness. There are easy things you can do to try natural health. You can feel better after even a short meditation and a fast walk. Our goal is for you to do things that make your whole body feel good. I like that wellness pairing and holistic exercise make it easy and open to be healthy. They make us take our time and think about how the things we do every day can work together instead of being different tasks. Adding mindfulness to time spent in the sauna or meditation to strength training, for example, has changed how I feel about these things. These ideas are becoming more popular because they fit with how we live now. It’s hard for people to put their health first because they are too busy. It’s not hard to get healthy if you follow these trends. Begin by making small changes that are easy to work into your daily life. There’s more to taking care of yourself than just crossing things off a list. These health trends help us remember that. There are ways to make times that are fun and last a long time. Even if you don’t start with total exercise, these habits can make a big difference in how you feel. Being well is great because it’s unique to each person. Don’t be afraid to try new things until you find something that you like. Making small changes can help you feel better the most. Meet Our Contributor — Jean Christophe Gabler J.C.

Credit: James Lloyd, Psychotherapist Negative self-talk — those harsh, inner-critical voices — can feel like an unwelcome companion, intruding on our peace and chipping away at our self-esteem. Many of us try to fight these thoughts by silencing or challenging them. But what if there’s another way? Inspired by Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, a powerful mental health hack suggests approaching these thoughts with curiosity rather than criticism. By doing so, we can uncover the underlying messages these voices carry and create space for emotional healing and growth.
The Origins of Negative Self-Talk Before we dive into the hack itself, it helps to understand where these critical voices come from. Often, negative self-talk reflects protective mechanisms developed over time. For example, the voice that says, You’re not good enough, may have emerged during childhood to push us toward perfection or shield us from rejection. While it may seem harsh, this part of us is often trying to help in its own, misguided way. Instead of fighting with these thoughts, we can ask, What is this part of me trying to tell me? This simple shift — from criticism to curiosity — can transform our relationship with negative self-talk. The Curiosity Hack The core idea of this hack is to treat negative thoughts as parts of ourselves that are trying to communicate something important. Instead of suppressing or debating with these voices, we approach them like we would a worried friend: with compassion and curiosity. Here’s how it works:
Why This Hack Works Curiosity creates emotional distance from the thought itself. Instead of being consumed by, I’m a failure, you step into the role of an observer, asking, Why does this part of me feel like I’m failing? This perspective shift interrupts the spiral of negative self-talk, allowing you to connect with your core self — the part of you that is calm, compassionate, and capable of guiding you through tough moments. This approach also reframes your inner critic as a protective part of you, rather than an enemy. By building a relationship with these inner voices, you reduce the power they have over you, fostering a kinder and more accepting relationship with yourself. A Real-Life Example Let’s say you’re preparing for a big presentation at work, and a voice in your mind says, You’re going to embarrass yourself. Instead of freezing or over-preparing in a panic, you pause and ask, What is this part of me afraid of? The answer might be, I’m afraid of being judged. Recognizing this fear allows you to validate it: That’s understandable — it’s hard to put yourself out there. From here, you can reassure yourself: Even if I make a mistake, I’m human, and people will likely understand. By the time you step into the presentation, you’re not battling your thoughts but walking alongside them, with a sense of compassion for your inner experience. Practical Tips for Using This Hack
Embracing Curiosity for Long-Term Well-Being Cultivating curiosity toward negative self-talk is not about letting these voices run unchecked but about transforming how we interact with them. Instead of seeing your inner critic as an enemy, you start to view it as a well-meaning, albeit clumsy, friend. Over time, this practice can enhance your emotional resilience, foster greater self-compassion, and help you navigate life’s challenges with more ease. So, the next time your inner critic pipes up, try this hack: pause, get curious, and listen. You might be surprised at what you learn — and how much lighter you feel.
