Coded Bias

About This Movie

Coded Bias dives deep into the unsettling realities of facial recognition tech, sparked by Joy Buolamwini's research at MIT. The film's tone is both urgent and contemplative, urging viewers to reckon with the biases embedded in the algorithms that shape our lives. The pacing feels deliberate, almost methodical, allowing the weight of the information to settle in. It's not just about tech; it’s about race and ethics, intertwining personal narratives with systemic issues. The visuals, mainly straightforward yet compelling, serve to illustrate a critical point rather than distract. It stands out for its genuine exploration of a contemporary issue that affects many but is often overlooked. A significant piece for anyone reflecting on the intersection of technology and society.
