Podcast appearances and mentions of Shalini Kantayya

TikTok is China's digital version of fentanyl. This is a warning from a member of the Federal Communications Commission in the US who wants it banned in America. The video sharing app has been downloaded more than 3 billion times, making it bigger than Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat and almost every other social media app. Shalini Kantayya is a documentary filmmaker who takes a long hard look at the geopolitics, cultural influence and algorithmic bias of the app that delivers three minute videos so many teenagers have become addicted to. The documentary is called TikTok Boom.

Artist Ye has been spouting conspiracy theories and antisemitic rants. But that's galvanized people who believe in goodness, love, and understanding, says LA Rabbi Steve Lede More than 100,000 Americans died of a drug overdose in 2021, according to the CDC. The new book “Raising Lazarus” follows the people saving the lives of those struggling with drug addiction. A new PBS film looks at how people are finding a voice and income stream on TikTok, but also harassment and censorship. Its content moderation lacks transparency, says director Shalini Kantayya. Emmy winner Leslie Jordan, 67, died on Monday in a car crash in Hollywood, after a reported medical emergency. He was best known for his role in “Will and Grace.”

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.

Our first batch of interviews from Sundance 2022 celebrates two returning guests, director of TikTok, Boom, Shalini Kantayya, and director of Fire of Love, Sara Dosa. The subjects of these documentaries couldn't be any more different, but their stories are equally powerful. With Shalini Kantayya's TikTok, Boom, we get a deep dive into the impact (both good and bad) of the world's most downloaded social media app, and the lives of some of its most successful influencers. In Sara Dosa's Fire of Love, we get an intimate look at the lives of the world's most famous volcanologist couple, Katia and Maurice Kraft, whose love for volcanoes and capturing the most informative (and closest) footage of them eventually leads to their death.You can follow director Shalini Kantayya on IG & Twitter & FBYou can follow director Sara Dosa on IG & Twitter & FB--Previous episodes with Shalini and Sara  can be found below:Coded Bias w/Direct Shalini KantayyaThe Seer and Unseen w/Director Sara Dosa--Thanks for listening and for your support!

This week we talk about Coded Bias directed by Shalini Kantayya on Netflix. It's both truly disturbing and fascinating and blew both our minds.

La tecnología puede ser usada para causar disturbios en las ciudades, para reunir fondos para campañas de caridad, difundir fraudes, ser el sustento de familas enteras, conectar con nuestros seres queridos o para que un pedofilo consiga su sigiente victima. ¿La tecnología es buena o es mala? ¿O depende de como se uso y de los lentes con que se mire?

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. A full transcript of this episode can be found here.Our next episode features Shalini Kantayya. Shalini is a filmmaker, activist, and self-proclaimed sci-fi fanatic. Her documentary Coded Bias exposes the biases and inequalities that can lurk within AI algorithms. Subscribe to Pondering AI now so you don't miss her. 

In this episode, I talk to Dr. Sharla Alegria about inequality in the tech workforce. We discuss tech workplace culture, the relationship between ethics and equality, and Sharla explains why robots aren't really taking your job--but growing culture of inequality might. Dr. Alegria earned her Ph.D. in Sociology with a certificate in Women, Gender, and Sexuality studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2016 and joined the faculty at the University of Toronto in 2019. She teaches classes on work; race, class, and gender; science, knowledge, and technology; stratification and inequality. Sharla’s research on inequality in the new economy, knowledge-based work examines tech work to understand why women’s representation in computing jobs has decreased since the early 1990s despite public and private sector investment. Beyond tech work, her research examines race and gender inequality in workplaces and institutions invested in diversity and equity. Her award-winning research appears in American Journal of Sociology, Gender & Society, and Ethnic and Racial Studies.  We are currently in the middle of a series of live events on ethics and technology, scheduled for the next few weeks. On May 25, we will host a screening of the new documentary, Coded Bias, followed by a Q and A with the director, Shalini Kantayya, and All events are free, virtual, and open to the public, but space is limited.

Welcome to Flash Back Friday! With 500+ episodes, we're excited to revisit some of our favorites with our new listeners (and maybe new to our regular listeners).This week we're celebrating Coded Bias, an important documentary that we covered for Sundance 2020 which is available right now on Netflix!Thanks to the work of MIT researcher Joy Buolamwini, we have further evidence that artificial intelligence programs (that are used in advertising, hiring, policing, etc) are as oppressive as the people that create them. We sat down with Shalini Kantayya, director of the documentary Coded Bias, which follows Joy on her quest for civil rights by creating the Algorithmic Justice League (now THAT's a superhero movie that needs to be made!). We discuss how and why Shalini made this film, and how the dangers of Big Brother watching us are far more disastrous than we ever imagined. If this film inspires you to take action, click HEREYou can follow director Shalini Kantayya on IG & Twitter & FBYou can follow Joy Buolamwini on IG & Twitter & FBJoin the Algorithmic Justice League  HERE--Be well, stay safe, Black Lives Matter, AAPI Lives Matter, and thank you for wearing a mask. --Buy us a cup of coffee!Subscribe to our channel on YouTube for behind the scenes footage!Rate and review us wherever you listen to podcasts!Visit our website! www.bitchtalkpodcast.comFollow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.Listen every other Thursday 9:30 - 10 am on BFF.FMPOWERED BY GO-TO Productions

This week, host Sidharth Bhatia is joined by American filmmaker Shalini Kantayya, who's documentary 'Coded Bias' is currently streaming on Netflix. The documentary talks about facial recognition technology and algorithms, how they work, the moral and racial problems that they pose, and how this technology is being welcomed by police forces all over the world, from dictatorships to democracies. The documentary premiered at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival in 2020. Shalini's other films include 'Catching the Sun' and 'A Drop of Life', both highly acclaimed documentaries in their own right.On this episode, Sidharth talks to Shalini about how Coded Bias alarmed and shocked him and how people often tell Shalini that they found the documentary disturbing and terrifying, and yet, somehow hopeful. They also get into whether this is actually something that we should worry about, how AI and facial recognition technologies need to definitely be vetted for racial bias, gender bias and other forms of discrimination, whom this technology could hurt, the need for proper laws that govern this sort of tech, how in the UK this technology resulted in 85% of people being misidentified by police, how these systems and AI are being trained, and tons more. Tune in for an extremely important conversation.Follow Shalini on Twitter & Instagram: shalinikantayya and https://instagram.com/shalinikantayyaFollow Sidharth Bhatia on Twitter and Instagram @bombaywallahbombaywallah and https://instagram.com/bombaywallahYou can listen to this show on The Wire's website, the IVM Podcasts website, app on Android: https://ivm.today/android or iOS: https://ivm.today/ios, or any other podcast app.

The film Coded Bias follows MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini through her investigation of algorithmic discrimination, after she accidentally discovers that facial recognition technologies do not detect darker-skinned faces. Joy is joined on screen by experts in the field, researchers, activists, and involuntary victims of algorithmic injustice. Coded Bias was released on Netflix April 5, 2021, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last year, and has been called “‘An Inconvenient Truth’ for Big Tech algorithms” by Fast Company magazine. We talk to director Shalini Kantayya about the impetus for the film and how to tackle the threats these challenges pose to civil rights while working towards more humane technology for all.

'Coded Bias' filmmaker Shalini Kantayya and researcher Meredith Broussard dissect the inequities perpetuated and created by emergent technologies. Every day, human beings use technology that would have been unthinkable just a few decades ago. But while the biometric computation and artificial intelligence that drive much of this tech have the sheen of something new, a growing chorus of researchers argues that they also contain something very old: the racism, sexism and other discrimination that have long been part of our history.  The machines we have made don't just suffer from the ills of our society, they argue, but also  threaten to perpetuate them. And, as this technology becomes more ubiquitous and invasive, it may become a serious threat to our civil rights.   For this week's episode of the Crosscut Talks podcast, we are speaking with Kantayya, whose film Coded Bias serves as a warning against the widespread, unregulated adoption of these technologies. Joining her is Broussard, one of the expert voices from the film and the author of Artificial Unintelligence: How Computers Misunderstand the World. --- Credits Host: Mark Baumgarten Event producers: Jake Newman, Andrea O'Meara Engineers: Resti Bagcal, Viktoria Ralph

Today on KIOS at the Movies, Joshua LaBure sits down with Patrick Kinney and Diana Martinez of Film Streams in Omaha to talk about another new film. This time, a thought provoking documentary about about the dark side of machine learning, Coded Bias, by filmmaker Shalini Kantayya. Coded Bias is now available on Film Streams at Home.

Coded Bias is a fascinating journey of discovery and a warning to the world that our freedoms, our thoughts, and our beliefs are under attack by programs and algorithms that are constantly dehumanizing the human experience. Shalini Kantayya took some time out of her busy schedule to talk about this documentary, what it means to her, and what it means to the world.

In this special edition of the podcast, we're joined by Shalini Kantayya, the director of Coded Bias, and Deb Raji and Meredith Broussard, who both contributed to the film. In this panel discussion, Sam and our guests explored the societal implications of the biases embedded within AI algorithms. The conversation discussed examples of AI systems with disparate impact across industries and communities, what can be done to mitigate this disparity, and opportunities to get involved. Our panelists Shalini, Meredith, and Deb each share insight into their experience working on and researching bias in AI systems and the oppressive and dehumanizing impact they can have on people in the real world.

Thanks to the work of MIT researcher Joy Buolamwini, we have further evidence that artificial intelligence programs (that are used in advertising, hiring, policing, etc) are as oppressive as the people that create them. We sat down with Shalini Kantayya, director of the documentary Coded Bias, which follows Joy on her quest for civil rights by creating the Algorithmic Justice League (now THAT's a superhero movie that needs to be made!). We discuss how and why Shalini made this film, and how the dangers of Big Brother watching us are far more disastrous than we ever imagined. You can watch Coded Bias during SFFilm's DOC STORIES next month! Thank you to SFFilm for sponsoring this episode.--Buy us a cup of coffee!Subscribe to our channel on YouTube for behind the scenes footage!Rate and review us wherever you listen to podcasts!Visit our website! www.bitchtalkpodcast.comFollow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.Listen every other Thursday 9:30 - 10 am on BFF.FMPOWERED BY GO-TO Productions 

CODED BIAS explores the fallout of MIT media lab researcher Joy Buolamwini’s startling discovery, technology based bias is real. Modern society sits at the intersection of two crucial questions: What does it mean when artificial intelligence increasingly governs our liberties? And what are the consequences for the people AI is biased against? When MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini discovers that most facial-recognition software does not accurately identify darker-skinned faces and the faces of women, she delves into an investigation of widespread bias in algorithms. As it turns out, artificial intelligence is not neutral, and women are leading the charge to ensure our civil rights are protected. Director Shalini Kantayya (Catching the Sun) joins us for a conversation on computerized racial, political, sexual, social, financial, cultural bias and how it is here now and what, if any, way that people can do anything reform it or stop it from determining our collective future.

Tra i film che saranno disponibili anche online vedremo Yummy di Lars Damoiseaux, uno splatter divertente e pazzoide ispirato dalla saga de La casa di Sam Raimi e alle commedie horror di Peter Jackson; l'avvincente Coma di Nikita Argunov (distribuito in Italia da Blue Swan Entertainment), sci-fi russo lisergico e visionario tra mondi paralleli dove le leggi della fisica svaniscono; The Relic di Natalie Erika James, uno degli horror più acclamati dell'anno, che rinnova con originalità il filone delle case infestate, dalla terra di Babadook e Picnic a Hanging Rock; un film sci-fi a bassissimo budget che diventerà ben presto un autentico cult, Dune Drifter di Marc Price, dichiarato omaggio all'universo di Star Trek e alle escursioni nella fantascienza di Roger Corman; l'adrenalinico The Blackout di Egor Baranov, sempre dalla Russia e distribuito da Minerva Pictures, un'esplosione di fantascienza pura, dove l'ultimo avamposto dell'umanità è chiamato a resistere per la salvezza del nostro pianeta; il film sci-fi eco-futurista 2067 di Seth Larney, distribuito da Koch Media e con Kodi Smit-McPhee (il popolare Nightcrawler della saga degli X-men) che interpreta un giovane astronauta del tempo, mandato nel futuro per impedire una catastrofe ambientale. Tra i titoli già annunciati e disponibili anche sulla piattaforma online di MYmovies ricordiamo Skylin3s di Liam O'Donnell, terzo capitolo della fortunata saga sci-fi e che sarà il film di apertura del festival online, Jumbo di Zoé Wittock, opera dolce e surreale con Noémi Merlant (già protagonista dell'acclamato Ritratto della giovane in fiamme) e miglior film Generation 14Plus alla Berlinale 2020, Lapsis di Noah Hutton, una brillante satira politica sulla gig economy ambientata in un futuro prossimo, Mortal di André Øvredal, storia di supereroi che non rispetta le regole convenzionali del genere e porta la sfida europea alle produzioni Marvel e DC, Post Mortem di Péter Bergendy, una storia di fantasmi ambientata nell'Ungheria devastata dalla prima guerra mondiale. Spazio anche ai documentari con Coded Bias di Shalini Kantayya, opera che analizza i pregiudizi degli algoritmi e dei supercomputer, in una sorta di Minority Report nella nostra realtà, per riflettere sulla società del presente (e del futuro), sempre più condizionata dall'intelligenza artificiale.

In this episode we go down the AI rabbit hole with CODED BIAS director Shalini Kantayya. We dig into the pernicious creep of AI, the power of its gatekeepers, "the coded gaze” and the presence of women in science and tech shaping a vision of our future. CODED BIAS premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in the U.S. Documentary Competition.

To be a successful society we need to ensure that low and middle income people have access to solar power and can use energy efficiently. Several organizations in Austin are working toward that goal. Our guests on Shades of Green discussed their goals and policy suggestions for reducing energy poverty and how our listeners can get involved. We first had film producer, Shalini Kantayya on the phone to highlight her recent documentary “Catching the Sun: The Clean Energy Future”. Our local Austin solar guests were: Dana Harmon, the Executive Director for the Texas Energy Poverty Research Institute (TEPRI) discussed their initiatives and research in Austin. Danielle Murray, Manager of Solar Energy Services at Austin Energy is implementing two programs in Austin to help give low income customers access to affordable solar energy. One is a set-aside for low-income customers for purchasing a part of the new community solar project in East Austin, and a new shared solar program for renters. Scott Nguyen, Executive Director for 1PlanetSol a new organization with community-wide approach to help give low income families access to solar energy. Emmett Miranker, representing Everybody Solar, a non-profit working toward providing solar power to local charities to their reduce electricity costs and direct their limited resources to the communities they serve.

Next time on Global Ethics Forum, filmmaker Shalini Kantayya discusses her film "Catching the Sun" and the growing renewable energy industry in America. In this excerpt, Kantayya talks with journalist Stephanie Sy about the positive effect that solar power can have on the middle class in both red states and blue states.

Can we build a green economy and fight pollution at the same time? Is energy policy also social policy? Through the stories of workers and entrepreneurs in the U.S. and China, Catching the Sun explores the global race to lead the clean energy future. Over the course of a solar jobs training program, Catching the Sun follows the hope and heartbreak of unemployed American workers seeking jobs in the solar industry. With countries like China investing in innovative technologies and capitalizing on this trillion-dollar opportunity, Catching the Sun tells the story of the global energy transition from the perspective of workers and entrepreneurs building solutions to income inequality and climate change with their own hands. Their successes and failures speak to one of the biggest questions of our time: will the U.S. actually be able to build a clean energy economy? Tune in as we talk with the film's director, Shalini Kantayya.
