When MIT Researcher and PhD Candidate Joy Boulamwini buys an aspiration mirror that fails to recognize her face, Joy realized the facial recognition software has not been programmed to identify black faces. Looking for answers, she falls down a rabbit hole of bias recognition codes, inconsistent algorithms, and most frightening, governments and police forces actively using this flawed technology without oversight. To combat this racists software and the encroachments of civil liberties, Joy builds an international justice league seeking legislative restrictions for the use of AI technologies.
