Unconscious Bias in Algorithms

Computers can make decisions very fast, but that doesn't make them equitable. This concept is commonly known as algorithmic bias, and this conversation will explore how technology can be more ethical.

June 23, 2021, at 3 pm EST

WHY IT MATTERS

Biases in how humans make decisions are well documented, but in many cases not much research has focused on bias in computer algorithms. Most of this research is led by black women like Joy Buolamwi and Timnit Gebru who exposed that biases are often introduced into the underlying data sets. Which means

Our collective impact strategy is to create a space called the Connect Room, which invites changemakers to join a conversation that can help raise awareness about hidden racial discrimination in computer programs. The conversation is designed to help changemakers learn more about the biases in technology and encourage innovators to build stronger relationships with the Black community.
