artificial intelligence has to play in

Joy Buolamwini, PhD, is making sure
that cameras and apps can actually
recognize all skin tones equally and
that our societal bias doesn’t bleed

Our cover star, Kim Kardashian,
has just launched a new beauty
experiment—SKKN by Kim, a line
focused on a nine-step skin-care

the science of celebrity beauty.
Although, is it really experimental
when the results are so predictable?
Every Kardashian launch has been
a success.
And if I can encourage you to try
your own experiment this month,
please step away from the
computer, the phone, or the new
Kardashian series on Hulu and get
outside. The most beautiful thing
nature has to offer is serenity.
