What happens when technology isn't held accountable? Dr. Joy Buolamwini, founder of the Algorithmic Justice League, is here to guide us through AI's power, pitfalls, and potential. From exposing bias in facial recognition to championing ethical AI, Dr. Joy is leading the charge to protect what makes us human in a world dominated by machines. As a Rhodes Scholar, MIT researcher, and author of Unmasking AI: My Mission to Protect What Is Human in a World of Machines, Dr. Joy's groundbreaking work has reshaped the conversation on AI ethics. Her viral TED Talk and the Emmy-nominated documentary Coded Bias highlight the real-world consequences of unchecked technology and why ethical AI is essential for everyone. AI isn't inherently good or evil—it's a tool. How we use it defines its impact, and being human isn't just a feature—it's the whole point.

Screening Big Data: Films that Shape Our Algorithmic Literacy (Routledge, 2024) examines the influence of key films on public understanding of big data and the algorithmic systems that structure our digitally mediated lives. From star-powered blockbusters to civic-minded documentaries positioned to facilitate weighty debates about artificial intelligence, these texts frame our discourse and mediate our relationship to technology. Above all, they impact society's abilities to regulate AI and navigate big tech's political and economic manoeuvres to achieve market dominance and regulatory capture.  Foregrounding data politics with close readings of key films like Moneyball, Minority Report, The Social Dilemma, and Coded Bias, in Screening Big Data by Dr. Gerald Sim reveals compelling ways in which films and tech industry–adjacent media define apprehension of AI. With the mid-2010s techlash in danger of fizzling out, Screening Big Data explores the relationship between this resistance and cultural infrastructure while highlighting the urgent need to refocus attention onto how technocentric media occupy the public imagination. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

For today's episode, we feature two conversations. To start, Jay Moran sits down with Liv Duke, the Programs & Services Coordinator at Arts Services Inc., and Tracy Synder, the Executive Director of The Theatre of Youth. The three discuss the Arts Access Initiative, a program designed to create wider access to arts and cultural events through transportation, language, and financial assistance. For our second segment, we welcome three members of the UB Center for Information Integrity. Jay Moran is joined by David Castillo, the Co-Director of the Center, along with E. Bruce Pitman and Jasmina Tacheva, who are two speakers for the center's upcoming film screening of “Coded Bias”, a film that discusses the pitfalls of generative AI.

For today's episode, we feature two conversations. To start us off, we begin with the first episode of our Project 2025 series. The series aims to go in-depth as to what the impact of the Project would look like if implemented. For the first episode of the series, Thomas O'Neil-White is joined by returning guest Wil Green, the Assistant Dean of Outreach and Community Engagement at the Graduate School of Education at UB. The two discuss the potential impact of Project 2025 on education. For our second conversation, we welcome David Castillo, E. Bruce Pitman, and Jasmina Tacheva of the UB Center for Information Integrity. Jay Moran joins the three in a conversation about how misinformation and generative AI can affect access to reputable information on elections, as well as an upcoming film screening of “Coded Bias”, a film that discusses how certain facial recognition programs are not programmed to analyze dark-skinned faces accurately.

Why do we assume that computers always get it right? Today's book is: Artificial Unintelligence: How Computers Misunderstand the World (MIT Press, 2019), in which Professor Meredith Broussard argues that our collective enthusiasm for applying computer technology to every aspect of life has resulted in a tremendous amount of poorly designed systems. We are so eager to do everything digitally—hiring, driving, paying bills, even choosing romantic partners—that we have stopped demanding that our technology actually work. Broussard, a software developer and journalist, reminds us that there are fundamental limits to what we can (and should) do with technology. With this book, she offers a guide to understanding the inner workings and outer limits of technology—and issues a warning that we should never assume that computers always get things right. Making a case against technochauvinism—the belief that technology is always the solution—Broussard argues that it's just not true that social problems would inevitably retreat before a digitally enabled Utopia. To prove her point, she undertakes a series of adventures in computer programming. She goes for an alarming ride in a driverless car, concluding “the cyborg future is not coming any time soon”; uses artificial intelligence to investigate why students can't pass standardized tests; deploys machine learning to predict which passengers survived the Titanic disaster; and attempts to repair the U.S. campaign finance system by building AI software. If we understand the limits of what we can do with technology, Broussard tells us, we can make better choices about what we should do with it to make the world better for everyone.

Carter Journalism Institute of New York University and Research Director at the NYU Alliance for Public Interest Technology. She is the author of Artificial Unintelligence, and of More Than A Glitch. Her work has been featured in the New Yorker, the New York Times, the Atlantic, the Economist, and more.

Dr. Joy Boulamwini visits Town Hall Seattle (in conjunction with Third Place Books) to discuss her 2023 publication, Unmasking AI: My Mission To Protect What Is Human in a World of Machines. Dr. Joy is a Rhodes Scholar, as in African Race Soldier Cecil Rhodes, and was the focal point of the 2020 documentary, Coded Bias, which examines how the System of White Supremacy is manifest in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence. She discussed some of the more recent cases, including the arrest of privileged black male, 42-year-old Robert Julian-Borchak Williams. The attempted black father of two was snatched from his front lawn and arrested in front of his offspring - just like the character Maverick in The Hate U Give. Detroit, Michigan enforcement officers used facial recognition technology to "identify" Williams as a watch thief. Turns out the technology makes a lot of "false positives" when it comes to identifying dark faces. Dr. Joy also mentioned the case of Porcha Woodruff, who also lives in Detroit. Just like Mr. Williams, Detroit enforcement officials used facial recognition technology to pin a carjacking caper on Woodruff. Officers didn't think Woodruff being 8 months pregnant with child would hinder her ability to loot vehicles. #TechnologyOfWhitePower #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

In this episode Johanna speaks with author and journalist Tracey Spicer about her new book, Man-made: how the bias of the past is being built into the future. The book explores the history of discrimination in technology and the importance of diversity and inclusion in today's tech ecosystem. Spicer makes a case for a new social contract, one that would see people holding the power over machines.     Relevant Links: Tracey Spicer website: https://traceyspicer.com.au/  Tracey Spicer new book, Man-made: https://www.simonandschuster.com.au/books/Man-Made/Tracey-Spicer/9781761106378  Dr. Joy Buolamwini: https://www.poetofcode.com/  Dr. Joy Buolamwini TED Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/joy_buolamwini_how_i_m_fighting_bias_in_algorithms  Algorithmic Justice League: https://www.ajl.org/  Coded Bias, Netflix documentary: https://www.netflix.com/au/title/81328723  Professor Yolande Strengers: https://research.monash.edu/en/persons/yolande-strengers    Follow:  Tracey Spicer on Twitter: @TraceySpicer  Tracey Spicer on LinkedIn: Tracey Spicer AM GAICD Dr. Joy Buolamwini on Twitter: @jovialjoy Yolande Strengers  on Twitter: @YolandeStreng

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning are huge buzz words these days and for good reason. They are increasingly being used within research and by companies to make important decisions about our lives. Dr Mavis Machirori, a senior researcher in AI and healthcare, talks about the dangers of poorly designed AI systems and how the lack of diversity in the tech space means algorithms and machine-learning systems discriminate against Black (and other minority) communities.

It's been a busy few months and we finally bring you our interviews with four directors of documentaries and shorts from Sundance 2022. To The End is director and cinematographer Rachel Lears' follow up to her 2019 documentary, Knock Down the House. It once again follows representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and three women environmental activists pushing hard for climate change legislation- first with the Green New Deal, then with President Biden's Build Back Better plan. Rachel wants people to watch the film and become inspired to engage in politics in the United States in order to build a better world. To The End is currently playing at the Hot Docs film festival in Canada and is seeking distribution. Find Rachel Lears: https://www.jubileefilms.com/rachel-lears Twitter: @jubileefilms Instagram: @racheliplears As the title suggests, TikTok, Boom. is about how the social media app TikTok has exploded for both viewers and content makers. Shalini Kantayya's documentary explores the phenomenon, from the young people who consume it to the influencers who are now themselves a brand. But the Chinese company behind TikTok, Bytedance, uses the app for data mining, restricts certain content deemed too political, and could pose security risks for anyone watching or using TikTok. Shalini researched, found the TikTok influencers and shot the documentary very quickly. TikTok, Boom. also played at SXSW this year and has yet to be released. Shalini's previous film, 2020's Coded Bias is critically acclaimed and won several awards. Find Shalini Kantayya: https://www.shalinikantayya.net/ Instagram @shalinikantayya Chiqui was inspired by director and writer Carlos Cardona's parents' immigration story. The television pilot takes place in 1980's New Jersey as the vivacious Chiqui and her husband Carlos have just arrived from Colombia and are looking for work. Carlos set out to make it as a feature film, but decided to develop the story into a television series instead. To keep it true to the look of the 1980's he decided to shoot it on super 16mm and used Zeiss super speed lenses. Carlos is currently developing Chiqui into a television series. Find Carlos Cardona: https://www.carloscardonafilms.com/ Instagram @carlos.cardona The comedic short film Daddy's Girl is writer and director Lena Hudson's third short film. Alison is a young woman in her 20's who is a bit aimless, and her father comes to help her move out of her wealthy older boyfriend's apartment. Lena had been playing around with the idea of a father/daughter movie that would be short and filmable, especially during COVID. Daddy's Girl also screened at SXSW this year and Lena is developing it into a longer feature film.

Silvana and Tegan discuss the table reads of the AI-generated scripts for Stargate, produced by The Companion. Marc Evan Jackson (The Good Place) served as the host to the table reading that included Amanda Tapping, Michael Shanks, David Hewitt, and Jewel Staite.  The scripts were hilarious and yet somehow still captured the essence of the characters. We highly recommend checking out the recording at The Companion's website (linked below) if you are a Stargate fan. Links 1. AI Test - The Companion 2.

The internet was built on free speech and thrives on the lack of gatekeepers. Black TikTok content creators can make a living if they can get credit or until they speak up.   In the last calendar year, black content creators have learned some hard lessons about how much freedom they have on their platform. Early 2020 produced the Renegade challenge that Jalaiah Harmon started. Jalaiah is one of the most notable examples of a black creator who had to get credit on the backend. Not everyone is so fortunate, but the community stood up for her and has since elevated her to the place she deserves. Can Black TikTok Creators Be Pro-Black? In a recent article from Essence, Black TikTok creators Conscious Lee and Ziggi describe their experiences and why they are moving to other platforms like FanBase. Why the move? The creators have been experiencing "shadowbans," a practice where the algorithm implicitly hides your post and drops the engagement rate. They claim TikTok, in this case, is tanking their visibility when they speak up on causes that personally affect them and has even caused denials into the TikTok Creator Fund Program. "I think one of the worst forms of suppression I've faced on TikTok was when I tried to join the TikTok Creator Fund and Marketplace.  While writing my bio for the Marketplace, when I put two movements I identify with, Black Lives Matter & LGBTQ, TikTok flagged it as “inappropriate content or banned” and I was not allowed to use those words.  However, I could type in White Supremacist, Neo-Nazi, and other words that are criminal with no backlash from TikTok.  This is blatant racism. I also noticed that my followers will often drop dramatically, and when I posted a TikTok asking people to check if they were still following me, they realized they weren't but they never manually unfollowed me, so TikTok is suppressing my platform even further. Also, my videos have dropped in viewership once I began talking about topics around black creators, and there is no reason that my videos should be getting only a couple thousand views when I used to get 30K.  That is why I am beginning to start moving to Fanbase as Fanbase is not an ad-based platform, rather it is focused on followers and monetization for everyone. " Ziggi, After Facing Discrimination On TikTok, These Content Creators Created Their Own eCommunity, Essence Fanbase is an excellent alternative to those who can easily monetize their content. Still, the issues that arise are the viability of moving an audience to a new platform, whether the said platform will exist in the future, and missing lucrative opportunities in the now traditional social media ecosphere. Getting Credit on Social Media A lot of the conversation centered around content has been about monetization. TikTok claims to be working on the way to give original choreography credit on the platform. The problem that has plagued these A.I. platforms is that it does not see black people as...people. This issue is chronicled in the 2020 documentary film "Coded Bias," where Joy Buolamwini researches facial recognition technologies at the M.I.T. discovered "that some algorithms could not detect dark-skinned faces or classify women with accuracy." Will they get dance moves right if they can't tell it's a face? Only time will tell. In the meantime, the fight for equality on these platforms may be an uphill one for those most passionate. The ones who are not making anybody uncomfortable seem to be thriving more and more every day, but if you can't freely speak your truth, how much of your platform is really yours, to begin with?   Contact AAMA: Website: https://www.aa-ma.org LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/african-american-marketing-association/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aamahouston Merchandise: https://marketing-for-the-culture.creator-spring.com/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCstu7tdQ1qN3O--zmf2SKYA Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/AAMAHou

Shalini Kantayya is a storyteller, social activist, and filmmaker who explores challenging social topics with empathy and humor. Shalini's film Coded Bias debunks the myth that AI algorithms are objective by nature. In this thought-provoking discussion, Shalini illustrates why film is a powerful medium for social change (hint: it's about empathy), shares her belief that humans – not machines – must reinvent the future, and shows how inclusion and a focus on the human experience are critical to get AI right.  Shalini artfully traces the inspiration for Coded Bias and the danger in ceding human autonomy to any unintelligent system. Kimberly and Shalini discuss why good intent and a sole focus on fairness and bias are not enough when considering AI's future. Highlighting the work of researchers such as Dr. Timnit Gebru and Joy Buolamwini, Shalini makes the case for inclusion in AI and shares a proven recipe for moving the dial on ethical AI. Finally, Shalini speaks to the need for empathy in all things – including toward our innate human propensity for bias. And how storytelling keeps the human experience front-and-center, allowing us to cross boundaries and open hearts and minds to a different point of view.   A full transcript of this episode can be found here. Our next episode features Lama Nachman. Lama leads Intel's Human & AI Systems Research Lab where she directs some of the most impactful work - such as giving people back their voice - in applied AI today.

Teemu Roos is the lead instructor of the Elements of AI online course which has a pivotal role in Finland's unique, inclusive AI strategy. Teemu is also a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Helsinki and leader of the AI Education programme at the Finnish Center for AI.In this encouraging discussion, Teemu shares how an insatiable appetite for discovery led to a career as a ML researcher and educator. His excitement about projects ranging from astrophysics to neonatal brain development highlight AI's endless potential and the importance of imagination and curiosity.  Teemu deftly explains why homogeneity makes doing good AI hard. He enthusiastically demonstrates how collaboration between data scientists, experts and laypersons exposes otherwise hidden opportunities. Kimberly and Teemu discuss the need for broad citizen engagement in AI and why the target audience for Elements of AI is “everyone who isn't interested in AI”. And why we must focus on ethics and privacy now. With humor and optimism, Teemu helps us envision a future where everyone is informed, passionate and actively engaged in AI.
