Caring Democracies – Caring Technologies: Coded Bias

The CIRAC fi lm series this autumn features three films that focus on how technologies transform practices and politics of care in democracies. We ask: Who assumes responsibility for sustainable and inclusive design, and for the use and regulation of data-intensive technologies when big tech firms do not seem to care about democratic values?

Artificial Intelligence is biased, and many systems discriminate against marginalised communities (e.g. facial recognition, predictive policing, or recommender systems). The documentary follows researchers and activists in their endeavour to reclaim agency and reshape ideas of digital innovation.
