Coded Bias

Recently in February, June and October 2021, as part of an innovative and fresh approach, i.e. a non-traditional meeting event: we presented video documentaries. This was very warmly received. So we decided to continue the good work.

We proudly present the Documentary: Coded Bias

Summary:

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 ingoverning our liberties? And, what are the consequences for people stuck in the crosshairs dueto their race, color, and gender?
