On Sunday night, @60Minutes aired an episode on facial recognition and #algorithmicbias, and excluded the groundbreaking work of prominent Black female AI scientists: @jovialjoy, @rajiinio, and @timnitGebru.

Instead, @60Minutes featured another study — calling it “groundbreaking” — even though the study itself explicitly cited both @jovialjoy's and @rajiinio's algorithmic bias work as its motivation. 2/6
And it gets worse.
Our founder @jovialjoy spent hours with @60Minutes producers before the show aired, built a custom demo for @andersoncooper, and recommended research to feature. 3/6

BREAKING: Last night during @60Minutes’ episode on facial recognition, the Black women who co-authored pioneering research on #AlgorithmicBias were completely erased.

While talking about how AI development often leaves out the marginalized (which leads to incredible harm), @60Minutes not only excluded @jovialjoy, @rajiinio, and @timnitGebru — but miscredited their seminal work on #AiBias.

This isn't new.
Far too often, we still face erasure.

1 - Some machines use algorithms like training guides to learn how to complete tasks as data comes in over time. #AlgorithmicBias #CodedBias 
2 - These machines then use what they learn and make big decisions in people’s lives like:
➡️ who gets hired or fired.
➡️ who receives proper medical treatment.
➡️ who is targeted in police investigations.

I hv raised in n outside Parl the issue of transparency of “algorithms” of platforms like @twitter -bcoz they COULD infringe users right to Art19 freedom of expression.

In India too, we need transparency in how SM uses “algorithms n algorithmic biases”

Today the Affordable Care Act turns 10. By expanding coverage, the #ACA led to historic reductions in racial disparities in access to healthcare and significantly lessened the uninsured rate in the Black community. commonwealthfund.org/publications/2…
Even with the expansion of coverage the ACA has provided, Black communities are still feeling the brunt of inequities in healthcare. For instance, Black women die at twice the rate of white women during childbirth. nbcnews.com/health/womens-…
The rise in healthcare providers using algorithms, which are rife with #algorithmicbias, to determine patient sickness are “dramatically underrepresenting the healthcare needs of the sickest Black patients.” washingtonpost.com/health/2019/10…
