Why the conversation around AI and Facial Recognition is at a critical point in Brazil

Описание: 🌎 AJL's #CodedBiasWorldTour reached Brazil – our first South American screening, and the first time we’ve screened the film in a local language!

The conversation around AI bias is at a critical point in Brazil, as politicians debate how to use facial recognition technologies in public spaces – including football stadiums.

This urgency was palpable in the post-film Q&A session featuring AJL Founder Dr. Joy Buolamwini and Brazilian activist and computer scientist Ana Carolina da Hora.

Watch the full video to get Dr. Joy’s insights on the spread of facial recognition technologies, case studies from the United States that can be applied globally, protecting children from harmful AI that targets them, and how AI can be developed with communities in mind.

We hope the film and following discussion was able to inspire the community in Rio and beyond to keep advocating for themselves and fighting back against algorithmic bias.

🌟 Grateful to all the institutions, speakers, and translators, who pulled off the Herculean feat of organizing these events:
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, Semaj Warren Moore, Veronica Vieira from Diaspora Black.

Made possible with support from the Lifelong Kindergarten research group at MIT and the Accelerator Fellowship Programme at the Institute for Ethics in AI.
