Coded Bias

A thought-provoking documentary about a scholar who is asking uncomfortable questions about Artificial Intelligence with her research.

I dig it. Bias imbedded technology = A.I.

Great film. It will open your eyes if you are open-minded and want to learn about the consequences of technology. This is a very important film.

I've heard bits of this in news reports and many of my techy podcasts. Well done.

This documentary is horrifying and something we all need to understand!

Very well thought out storyline! Timing and distribution of informational segments, professional interviews, as well as local personal stories, were all well placed to keep one entertained throughout the entire documentary. The candor of all those who spoke as well, helped get the heart and message of Joy Buolamwini's research across; its not the thing itself but those who create it. When the intended message of a researcher gets accurately interpreted and understood, it is something to be celebrated. That is exactly what this documentary does. Definitely recommend!

A documentary film which follows researchers and advocates as they explore how algorithms encode and propagate bias. They make a case and it certainly seems lawmakers bought it. There is a lot of information and there are many layers which make this a thinking person's movie. If you're looking for USA Today this isn't it. While the subject is important, it didn't seem as though there were enough to it for a feature length film. Perhaps a bit rushed, but still stunning to find out how much unconscious bias is out there. Final Score: 8/10

An interesting review of the real problem of algorithms and facial recognition which are increasingly affecting our lives with little or no control

Excellent look into how supposedly neutral algorithms can redid the underlying systemic societal biases and prejudices. Fascinating analysis and discussion.

Great diversity of both experts and real-world consequences of unmonitored algorithms, but awkward pacing and editing.
