Coded Bias World Tour at MIT

2025 marks the 5-year anniversary of Coded Bias which premiered at Sundance in January 2020. To celebrate this milestone, the Algorithmic Justice League has partnered with the University of Oxford’s Institute of AI Ethics to screen this classic AI documentary around the world. We are excited to end the world tour where this work began, on the MIT campus.

The documentary Coded Bias sheds light on critical flaws in AI systems that threaten democracy and our basic rights, telling the story of Dr. Joy Buolamwini, who uncovered biases in these systems while at MIT and subsequently founded the Algorithmic Justice League to combat AI-related harm. The film follows her research into gender and skin tone bias, her efforts to bring these issues before governments and major tech companies, and also features many AI trailblazers who are working to raise awareness about the dangers of unchecked AI systems.
