Documentary follows a MIT Media Lab researcher who discovers that facial recognition does not see dark-skinned faces accurately, and pushes for the first-ever legislation in the U.S. to govern against bias in the algorithms that impact us all.
"Coded Bias weaves a history of the small homogeneous group of men who defined artificial intelligence and forged the culture of Silicon Valley—a culture that is already reshaping the world. As artificial intelligence moves out of the data science labs and into the real world, bias has the potential to be deployed at scale. Emboldened by troubling discoveries, Buolamwini charts a way forward by joining the ranks of other concerned experts to form a justice league committed to the more humane and ethical use of the AI systems that will shape the future."
