| Summary | Buolamwini’s advocacy memoir seeks to illuminate how AI systems, particularly facial recognition algorithms, encode racial and gender biases that harm marginalized communities. Motivated by her experience at MIT, Buolamwini coined the term “coded gaze” to aid in the conceptualization of algorithmic discrimination. Refusing to accept the propagation of unethical algorithms, Buolamwini shares how experiencing bias led her to establish the Algorithmic Justice League (AJL) to advocate for inclusive datasets, transparent audits, responsible policy and public engagement. Buolamwini encourages readers to participate in collective action across technical, political and social spheres to ensure AI supports human dignity. |
