Joy Boulamwini is reshaping the landscape of technology, by raising awareness of the social implications and potential harms of AI.
She set up The Algorithmic Justice League, with a clear mission: to identify and rectify biases within algorithms, ensuring fairness for all. Buolamwini's research, notably in facial recognition, exposes the deep-seated biases that permeate AI systems, highlighting the critical need for transparency and inclusivity in tech development. There are many things to check out, including her book Unmasking AI and documentary Coded Bias that she features heavily in, as well as campaigns such as #DecodeTheBias and #IShapeMyWorld.
