Coded Bias

This information being brought to the fore on this documentary is incredibly informative and useful to know. Everyone using face recognition on their phone or anywhere, or that have a smartphone, apps, technology need to know how companies are using data.

Interesting how the information was discovered to begin with... and to me it was a bit shocking that it was not entirely intentional a discovery. But a discovery nonetheless.

I'd love to see this documentary delve into the use for employment platforms and their algorithms too. The documentary showcases how employment platforms may be removing candidates that have gone to certain universities or that participated in certain organizations, etc. (But then say they can't find "qualified" candidates? Yet, look at unemployment stats...)

The bad reviews probably have vested interests and don't want people to know, or maybe are biased themselves? Either way....

Don't let that deter from watching how your information is gathered and used by technology today and in the future to come.

There is currently a big lack in regulation as AIs are being employed, so it's sort of a free for all until there's proper oversight.

Is this the new way of discrimination that people don't even know is happening? Maybe.. but the documentary just touches the surface on what and how tech is and can be used and that there is desperate need for oversight and regulation.

Must watch!! PLEASE educate yourself, you deserve to know this information.

This was a good documentary making points we should all keep in mind.

Only flaw is that it didn't come out earlier than 2020. It's a must-watch if you have a brain in your skull, ignore all the babynazis flooding the reviews with their abominable screeching.

I've heard a lot about the various algorithmic failures around race. This is a good overview of the discussion that talks about some things I haven't seen before. When you see it put all together in one place it's pretty shocking.

At the same time, purely as a documentary this is kind of weak. It's sometimes a little muddled, and it sometimes stretches a point a bit too far. Some of the things it tries to fold into the narrative are less examples of technological racism and more examples of actual criminal behavior. There's a difference between slippery tech and actions that resulted in people going to jail.

Still, it's a compelling film.

This documentary shows exacly why we as the people cannot not be divided,and it shows the true enemy of western civilizations ,authoritarianism. We can not allow goverments to sell us the idea that we have to pay for safety with freedoms.

There´s little focus but very hyperbolic interpertation of the data when it came to racial profiling by the AI... just a whiff of "wokeness" that was digestible to me, but also caused the polarization on this review section.

The rest of the documentary is well produced, informative, and seriously eye opening and you should see it because any of the negatives at least for me dont even come close to the deeper understandig you get from practical examples you see around the world that are very scary.
