Indie Lens Pop-Up: Coded Bias
When MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini discovers that many facial recognition technologies fail more often on darker-skinned faces or the faces of women than others, she delves into an investigation of widespread bias in the technology that shapes our lives.
7 - 8 p.m.
Join audiences nationwide on Thursday, March 18, 2021 at 4:00 pm PT / 7:00 pm ET for a virtual Indie Lens Pop-Up screening of Coded Bias featuring a talkback with director and producer Shalini Kantayya and film protagonist Joy Buolamwini, a computer scientist and digital activist based at the MIT Media Lab. We’ll also hear from a group of pioneering women in technology, as they share their journeys and discuss ways to increase inclusion of women and people of color working in the tech industry.
