On Inclusion and Diversity

Recently i watched a documentary named Coded bias, it investigates the bias in algorithms after M.I.T media lab researcher Joy Buolamwini uncovered flaws in facial recognition technologies. It was found out the algo’s were biased against People of colour and Women. What i understood from the documentary was the tech industry is dominated by similar looking people (for example 83% of Google tech employees were men, with 60% of the entire tech workforce being white), they could have unconsciously encoded or propagated biases.

As time passed by my social media usage time increased and real-life interaction with my friends decreased.
