Sundance Rewind with Shalini Kantayya of Coded Bias

Send us Fan MailThanks 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. You can watch Coded Bias during SFFilm's DOC STORIES next month! Thank you to SFFilm for sponsoring this episode.--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!
