How I’m fighting bias in algorithms | Joy Buolamwini | TED Talk

In the TED Talk “How I’m fighting bias in algorithms,” Joy Buolamwini, a graduate student at MIT Media Lab, shares her mission to stop algorithmic bias, or what she calls “the coded gaze.” The video begins with Joy explaining how algorithmic bias is like human bias, but it can spread on a massive scale at a rapid pace, leading to exclusionary experiences. She explains that algorithmic bias can lead to discriminatory practices, and law enforcement is using facial recognition software in their crime-fighting arsenal. We must start thinking about how we create more inclusive code and employ inclusive coding practices. Can artificial intelligence and machine learning be held accountable?
