Michael says: “This film couldn’t have been released at a better time as it explores the problematic uses and misuses of facial recognition, applied algorithms, artificial intelligence, and bias. But best of all it introduced me to Joy Buolamwini, a graduate student who discovers that facial recognition doesn’t work that well on black faces while developing a project at the MIT Media Lab. From there, Joy goes on to become a founder of the Algorithmic Justice League, a movement towards equitable and accountable AI. What a phenomenal woman, and what a well-crafted, illuminating documentary. 4.5 cats“
