While algorithms and artificial intelligence are often touted as neutral and unbiased decision-making tools, research such as Dr. Joy Buolamwini and Dr. Timnit Gebru’s Gender Shades project illustrates that these technologies rarely perform equally well across all populations and demographics. The impacts of these performance differences can have far-reaching consequences in the workplace, in court, and even in the online dating pool. Join us as we explore the industrial, legal, cultural, and social implications of this research with Dr. Ifeoma Ajunwa (University of North Carolina School of Law) and Dr. Apryl Williams (University of Michigan).
