Podcast – Coded Bias: AI in power

In this podcast, we (Mehak, Isabel, and Lara) talk about the documentary “Coded Bias,” directed by Shalini Kantayya. The documentary discusses how biased the algorithms used for job application algorithms, facial recognition systems, etc. are. How does this maintain the existence of our pervasive prejudice against women and people of colour? We discussed the documentary’s content as well as our personal opinions on the subject. Share your thoughts on this in the comments!
