Coded Bias
On Thursday, February 18, 2021 at 6 p.m., the Ignite Student Council, Spark!, IS&T, Hariri Institute and the Department of Computer Science are hosting a screening of Coded Bias followed by a Q&A Director Shalini Kantayya. Coded Bias explores the fallout of MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini’s startling discovery that facial recognition does not see dark-skinned faces accurately, and her journey to push for the first-ever legislation in the U.S. to govern against bias in the algorithms that impact us all. Registration is free and open to Boston University students, faculty, staff and alumni: http://bit.ly/BUCodedBias
