SPOTLIGHT

Dr. Joy Buolamwini is a computer scientist and founder of the Algorithmic Justice League. Her MIT thesis methodology exposed racial and gender bias in AI services offered by major tech companies. This led to them halting the sale of facial recognition technology to law enforcement in 2020.

Dr. Buolamwini advises officials and is part of the Global Tech Panel addressing AI's negative impacts. Her journey is documented in the film Coded Bias, which highlights the risks to civil rights and democracy.
