Movie night featuring the documentary “Coded Bias”, co-hosted with the Institute for Gender and the Economy. Bring out the popcorn and snacks, we are hosting a movie night at RC Coding Café. Together we will sit down for a screening of Coded Bias. This documentary investigates the bias in algorithms and highlights real world examples of the impact on society. The journey begins with M.I.T. Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini who uncovered flaws in facial recognition technology.
If you are interested in delving deeper into the impact of bias, our co-host, the Institute for Gender and the Economy (GATE), is launching a student zine! GATE is looking for student writing, art, or other creative work that reflects your perspectives on inequality. Find out how to submit to our first issue at the movie night. Co-hosted by the TD Management Data and Analytics Lab and the Institute for Gender and the Economy.
