The Coded Bias World Tour in Brazil

The Coded Bias World Tour in Brazil

🌎 AJL celebrated another exciting milestone on the #CodedBiasWorldTour in Brazil, screening our award-winning film for the first time in South America – and in Brazilian Portuguese to boot! 💬 Reflections from AJL Founder Dr. Joy Buolamwini: The conversation around AI bias is urgent and palpable in Brazil, as policymakers are deciding how to use facial recognition technologies in public places – including at football stadiums. I declined an invitation to a historic football match because it required submitting to facial recognition. I truly enjoyed speaking with scholars and technologists who continue to think deeply about the implications of widespread face surveillance. Our stops in Manaus and Rio were filled with meaningful conversations with local leaders and experts. Big thanks to World Economic Forum Young Global Leader Luana Génot and the Brazil Learning Journey for hosting our screening in Manaus. 🙏🏾 Grateful to the many institutions, speakers, and translators, who made these events possible: The Núcleo Rio de Janeiro RBAC, Secretaria Municipal de Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação do Rio de Janeiro, Instituto da Hora, Cátedra Fredric Litto - UFRJ, Tatiana Roque, Carla Rênes, Ana Carolina da Hora, Semaj Warren Moore, Veronica Vieira from Diaspora Black. 🌟 And to our partners for their ongoing support: the Lifelong Kindergarten research group at MIT and the Accelerator Fellowship Programme at the Institute for Ethics in AI.
