Modern society sits at the intersection of two crucial questions: What does it mean when artificial intelligence increasingly governs our liberties? And what are the consequences for the people AI is biased against? When MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini discovers that 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, AI is not neutral, and women are leading the charge to ensure our civil rights are protected.

“Fascinating . . . This fast-moving, dynamically assembled film — which makes sharp use of classic sci-fi visual concepts and screen graphics to echo its themes — is here to remind us that the struggle between humans and machines over decision-making is only going to get messier.” —The Hollywood Reporter
