And what are the consequences for the people AI is biased against ? When MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini 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.DIRECTOR´'S BIO.Filmmaker Shalini Kantayya´'s Coded Bias, premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival.
