Summary:
"To most of us, it seems like recent developments in artificial intelligence emerged out of nowhere to pose unprecedented threats to humankind. But to Dr. Joy Buolamwini, who has been at the forefront of
AI
research, this moment has been a long time in the making. After tinkering with robotics as a high school student in Memphis and then developing mobile apps in Zambia as a Fulbright fellow, Buolamwini followed her lifelong passion for computer science, engineering, and art to MIT in 2015. As a graduate student at the “Future Factory,” she did groundbreaking research that exposed widespread racial and gender bias in
AI
services from tech giants across the
world
.
Unmasking
AI
goes beyond the headlines about existential risks produced by Big Tech. It is the remarkable story of how Buolamwini uncovered
what
she calls “the coded gaze” -- the evidence of encoded discrimination and exclusion in tech products -- and how she galvanized the movement to prevent
AI
harms by founding the Algorithmic Justice League. Applying an intersectional lens to both the tech industry and the research sector, she shows how racism, sexism, colorism, and ableism can overlap and render broad swaths of humanity “excoded” and therefore vulnerable in a
world
rapidly adopting
AI
tools. Computers, she reminds us, are reflections of both the aspirations and the limitations of the people who create them. Encouraging experts and non-experts alike to join this fight, Buolamwini writes, “The rising frontier for civil rights will require algorithmic justice.
AI
should be for the people and by the people, not just the privileged few.”"--Publisher.
