From the creators of Coded Bias:
When MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini discovers that most facial-recognition software misidentifies women and darker-skinned faces, she is compelled to investigate further. It turns out that artificial intelligence, which was defined by a homogeneous group of men, is not neutral. What Buolamwini learns about widespread bias in algorithms drives her to push the US government to create the first-ever legislation to counter the far-reaching dangers of bias in a technology that is steadily encroaching on our lives.
Centering on the voices of women leading the charge to ensure our civil rights are protected, Coded Bias asks two key questions: what is the impact of artificial intelligence’s increasing role in governing our liberties? And, what are the consequences for people stuck in the crosshairs due to their race, color, and gender?
We are pleased to make this screening available through the cooperation of Women Make Movies.
