Coded Bias - Documentary screening

Columbia University Postdoctoral Society

Join us for a virtual screening and discussion of the documentary Coded Bias (2020)

168th Street

The CUPS Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Journal Club is proud to sponsor the virtual screening of the 2020 documentary by Shalini Kantayya CODED BIAS on April 5th to 7th. We will then discuss it in the group&#x27;s meeting on April 8th at 6 PM.<a href="https://www.codedbias.com/about" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">CODED BIAS</a> explores the fallout of MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini’s discovery that facial recognition does not see dark-skinned faces accurately, and her journey to push for the first-ever legislation in the U.S. to govern against bias in the algorithms that impact us all.SYNOPSISModern society sits at the intersection of two crucial questions: ?What does it mean when artificial intelligence increasingly governs our liberties? ?And what are the consequences for the people AI is biased against? When MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini discovers that most facial-recognition software does ?not accurately identify darker-skinned faces and the faces of women, she delves into ?an investigation of widespread bias in algorithms. As it turns out, artificial intelligence is not neutral, and women are leading the charge to ensure our civil rights are protected.
