Coded Bias Screening and Q&A with Filmmaker Shalini Kantayya
2025-10-27 17:30 - 18:00 | Bryan Cave Moot Courtroom (310)
Modern society sits at the intersection of two crucial questions: What does it mean when artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly governs our liberties? And what are the consequences for the people AI is biased against? When MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini discovers that most facial-recognition software does not accurately identify darker-skinned faces and the faces of women, she delves into an investigation of widespread bias in algorithms. As it turns out, artificial intelligence is not neutral, and women are leading the charge to ensure our civil rights are protected.

After the screening, you’ll have a rare opportunity to engage directly with Shalini Kantayya, the director behind this incisive film. Moderated by Professor Kimberly Norwood, the conversation will probe:

The role of narrative in shaping law, regulation, and activism

What choices and trade-offs the filmmaker faced in telling this story

How stories of bias in AI can transform public understanding and policy

Can We Train Bots to Negotiate Like Lawyers and What Do We Learn as We Do?
