This autobiographical journey details the inception of Dr. Buolamwini’s introduction to coded bias—biases that are inherent in supposedly neutral AI or machine learning systems—and her path to fighting for algorithmic justice and harm reduction. I enjoyed Dr. Buolamwini’s retelling of events, but felt that in some parts, the storytelling meandered a bit more than proved to be helpful or additive to the narrative.

A fabulous book about the social aspects of technology and why the engineers who make tech need to be more diverse. I use examples from this book in my teaching all the time and really loved all the details about the author and her journey.

For people who are unfamiliar with machine learning, “Unmasking AI” is an accessible introduction to how machine learning works, how people do research, why the field is in the mess it’s in, and what we can do about it.
But most importantly, Dr. Buolamwini demonstrates how to approach the hardest problems with moral courage and intellectual rigor. That’s a crucial message for everyone interested in machine learning, no matter how much experience they have.
