Flash Back Friday - Director Shalini Kantayya of Coded Bias

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Flash Back Friday! With 500+ episodes, we're excited to revisit some of our favorites with our new listeners (and maybe new to our regular listeners).This week we're celebrating Coded Bias, an important documentary that we covered for Sundance 2020 which is available right now on Netflix!Thanks to the work of MIT researcher Joy Buolamwini, we have further evidence that artificial intelligence programs (that are used in advertising, hiring, policing, etc) are as oppressive as the people that create them. We sat down with Shalini Kantayya, director of the documentary Coded Bias, which follows Joy on her quest for civil rights by creating the Algorithmic Justice League (now THAT's a superhero movie that needs to be made!). We discuss how and why Shalini made this film, and how the dangers of Big Brother watching us are far more disastrous than we ever imagined. If this film inspires you to take action, click HEREYou can follow director Shalini Kantayya on IG & Twitter & FBYou can follow Joy Buolamwini on IG & Twitter & FBJoin the Algorithmic Justice League  HERE--Be well, stay safe, Black Lives Matter, AAPI Lives Matter, and thank you for wearing a mask. --Buy us a cup of coffee!Subscribe to our channel on YouTube for behind the scenes footage!Rate and review us wherever you listen to podcasts!Visit our website! www.bitchtalkpodcast.comFollow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.Listen every other Thursday 9:30 - 10 am on BFF.FMPOWERED BY GO-TO Productions Support the showThanks for listening and for your support!
