Overview/Description
Examples of injustice will often make the news, but the roots of the sensational have their foundation in the mundane. Increasingly, the technology we create and the decisions we make are grounded in data. From healthcare to economics to facial recognition to self-driving cars, the who and how of the underlying code and analysis has an instrumental impact on our everyday lives. Too often, that impact can be disproportionately harmful to vulnerable and marginalized people.
