Join @augustanasd IN 24 HOURS for a screening of @CodedBias *and* a virtual Q&A with two-time Emmy nominated filmmaker @shalinikantayya in Hamre Hall at Augustana University at 7pm (Thursday 9/11)! Learn more at the link in our bio.
SYNOPSIS. Modern society sits at the intersection of two crucial questions: What does it mean when artificial intelligence (Al) increasingly governs our liberties? And what are the consequences for the people Al is biased against ? When MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini (@joyfulcode ) discovers the 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.

“This was one of the best parts of being a coder, and an artist: the thrill of being in the middle of creating something delightful. It’s like the anticipation of eating freshly baked bread after its aroma fills the room.”
-Joy Buolamwini. Computer scientist and digital activist. She founded the Algorithmic Justice League, an organization that works to challenge bias in decision-making software using art, advocacy, and research to highlight the social implications and harms of artificial intelligence. b.1990

Black history is an essential part of American history. Since its inception, Black folks have shaped the identity and fabric of the United States but unfortunately, too often, we don’t learn about them or their struggles, contributions & triumphs. Now, more than ever, it is crucial to celebrate the millions of Black Americans who, through their leadership, intellect, skill and creativity, have brought about progress for not just other Black Americans but for ALL Americans. We invite you to learn more about each of the people we feature and spread the word that celebrating our diversity makes us greater.
