Unmasking AI: My Mission to Protect What Is Human in a World of Machines by Joy Buolamwini
challenging
informative
reflective
medium-paced
4.0
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.
