articles to surface based on author profiles, but it sort of makes sense and adds up. Puzzle solved right?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrong_The_puzzle_is_not_solved\"><\/span>Wrong. The puzzle is not solved<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>My author profile (which is hosted on TNW\u2019s website and has nothing to do with Google) also says I cover cannabis, politics, and gaming.<\/p>\n<p>But when I search for \u201cartificial intelligence cannabis\u201d I get no hits. If I search for \u201cartificial intelligence politics\u201d I get one and changing it to \u201cartificial intelligence gaming\u201d nets me a whopping three pieces.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s where things get interesting. If I search for \u201cAI queer\u201d the number of my articles that surfaces drops to 21, but if I search for \u201cartificial intelligence pronouns\u201d it leaps to 44 out of 120.<\/p>\n<p>The Google News algorithm apparently pulls information from my profile, but it associates me with AI and queerness more so than any other combination of keywords or any singular search term.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, if I substitute \u201cmachine learning\u201d for \u201cartificial intelligence,\u201d a term I don\u2019t use at all in my profile, it surfaces zero results on its own and 27 results with \u201cqueer\u201d added.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_problem\"><\/span>The problem<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019m not sure how many queer AI journalists there are, but I have to believe I\u2019m not the only one.

But here I sit: apparently the most popular queer AI journalist in the world if you go by Google\u2019s algorithms.<\/p>\n<p>That might sound cool, but it really sucks that my own work on queer issues in the artificial intelligence and STEM communities is being driven down in the search results by my unrelated work.<\/p>\n<p>Worse, other journalists are obviously being slighted. I don\u2019t like the way that feels. Slapping some pronouns in my bio and having the privilege of working for a company that enthusiastically supports my reporting on queer issues shouldn\u2019t give me a lion\u2019s share of the results for something as broadly reported on as the search phrase \u201cartificial intelligence queer.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1357229 size-full js-lazy\" alt=\"a screenshot of Google News results\" width=\"1034\" height=\"1741\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1034px) 100vw, 1034px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/pridegooglenews.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/pridegooglenews.jpg 1034w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/pridegooglenews-125x210.jpg 125w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/pridegooglenews-160x270.jpg 160w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/pridegooglenews-80x135.jpg 80w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/pridegooglenews-796x1340.jpg 796w\"\/><figcaption><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/news\/#\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Feditorial.thenextweb.com%2Fneural%2F2021%2F06%2F16%2Fgoogle-news-queer-ai-journalist%2F&amp;via=thenextweb&amp;related=thenextweb&amp;text=Check out this picture on: It\u2019s ridiculous how many unrelated articles, written by me, you have to scroll before getting to something relevant.\" data-title=\"Share It\u2019s ridiculous how many unrelated articles, written by me, you have to scroll before getting to something relevant. on Twitter\" data-width=\"685\" data-height=\"500\" class=\"post-image-share popitup\" title=\"Share It\u2019s ridiculous how many unrelated articles, written by me, you have to scroll before getting to something relevant. on Twitter\"><i class=\"icon icon--inline icon--twitter--dark\"\/><\/a>It\u2019s ridiculous how many unrelated articles, written by me, you have to scroll before getting to something relevant.<\/figcaption><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1357229 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/pridegooglenews.jpg\" alt=\"a screenshot of Google News results\" width=\"1034\" height=\"1741\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/pridegooglenews.jpg 1034w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/pridegooglenews-125x210.jpg 125w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/pridegooglenews-160x270.jpg 160w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/pridegooglenews-80x135.jpg 80w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2021\/06\/pridegooglenews-796x1340.jpg 796w\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_solution\"><\/span>The solution?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019m still not sure exactly why \u201cmachine learning queer\u201d and \u201cartificial intelligence queer\u201d give similar results.
