Futures Focus: Race and Technology

This Focus talk will explore issues around race, privacy, and technology. How will facial recognition take center stage in the future of surveillance, both of protests and our daily lives? How can the general public actively participate in the futures of this software? Join us in this conversation between Shalini Kantayya (filmmaker, Coded Bias) and Meredith Broussard (associate professor, New York University), moderated by Valeria Lopez Torres (PhD candidate, University of Minnesota).

Kantayya’s new documentary feature Coded Bias will be available on walkerart.org October 6–12. The film unveils racial bias in facial recognition software and explores the injustices in the algorithmic data that permeates nearly every corner of our lives.
