The flawed use of facial recognition in policing is an overt example of how algorithms can erode civil rights and put more Black people in danger of increased police violence. 👏🏽 Black 👏🏽 Lives 👏🏽 Matter 👏🏽

While talking about how AI development often leaves out the marginalized (which leads to incredible harm), @60Minutes not only excluded @jovialjoy , @rajiinio , and @timnitGebru — but miscredited their seminal work on #AiBias . The irony is too much to stomach. #CiteBlackWomen 2/4

Repeat it with us: Coded bias is a not data problem just like police violence isn't just because of "one bad apple". Our institutions are encoded with systemic racism and often exploit Black and Brown bodies to thrive.
