Subject: Free virtual screening of award winning film Coded Bias and related events

We would like to invite you to take advantage of a free virtual screening of the award-winning film, Coded Bias.
https://tinyurl.com/clarksoncodedbias

The film will be available for you to watch anywhere. There will also be a series of discussions and panels and we hope you will make time to attend a few of those.

Coded Bias, is about bias in AI and automated decision making. 

Increasingly big decisions about the lives of individuals are being made in a partnership between human decision makers and computer systems. Automated decision making systems and algorithmically moderated platforms are making profound impacts on our personal and public relationships such as how we find a job, how we get our news, how we drive from place to place, sometimes even how we find a spouse. This is fundamentally changing the landscape of our societal decision-making processes - from hiring decisions, to decisions about news amplification, to criminal justice decisions - and making them vulnerable to new types of attacks and influences and impacting all of our lives and also our careers as computer scientists.

If you have only 9 minutes to get a sense of these events, consider watching these 3 short videos:
