Biased AI Programs Could Cause Discrimination
Joy Buolamwini was a graduate student at MIT a few years ago when she was working on an art and science project called the Aspire Mirror. The set up was supposed to use readily available facial recognition software to project images onto people's faces. But the software couldn't identify African-American Buolamwini's own face--unless she put on a white mask. She tells the story in more detail in a TED talk. As she encountered other examples of what's become known as algorithmic bias, Buolamwini decided to conduct a more rigorous review.
