The Omaha Checkup is a collaborative film series presented by the UNMC College of Public Health and Film Streams. Through free, thought-provoking screenings and community dialogue, the series examines the forces that shape public health both locally and globally.
Prior to the screening, attendees are invited to indulge in heavy hors d'oeuvres at 6 pm in the Film Streams lobby.
While this is a free screening, we do recommend RSVPing to ensure yourself a seat.
Film Information
Modern society sits at the intersection of two crucial questions: What does it mean when artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly governs our liberties? And what are the consequences for the people AI is biased against?
When MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini discovers the most facial-recognition software does not accurately identify darker-skinned faces and the faces of women, she delves into an investigation of widespread bias in algorithms. As it turns out, artificial intelligence is not neutral, and women are leading the charge to ensure our civil rights are protected.
