A Panel Discussion on the Film Coded Bias

Submitted by the Event Organizer

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. The film Coded Bias follows Joy’s exploration of the impacts of machine learning algorithms, and her effort to secure federal legislation to protect civil liberties from the unregulated use of algorithms in law enforcement, hiring, and beyond.

Join us for a panel discussion on the film with the director and a variety of academics on the emerging field of algorithmic fairness.
