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.

The irony is too much to stomach. #CiteBlackWomen 2/4
This isn't new.

Far too often, we still face erasure.

Read more from our founder @jovialjoy who spent hours with @60Minutes developing the @AndersonCooper interview (and a lifetime uncovering bias in AI) ⬇️ #CiteBlackWomen #VoicingErasure 3/4
What happened on @60minutes is exactly why we need your support.

We need to completely change how AI systems are developed, created, deployed, and talked about — but we can’t do it without tens of thousands of voices like yours.

17 May
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.

#CiteBlackWomen 1/6
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

❓❔ What is #AlgorithmicBias ❔❓

💻 A short #CodedBias Thread 💻 Image
1 - Some machines use algorithms like training guides to learn how to complete tasks as data comes in over time. #AlgorithmicBias #CodedBias Image
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.
