Episode description

What happens when technology isn’t held accountable? Dr. Joy Buolamwini, founder of the Algorithmic Justice League, is here to guide us through AI’s power, pitfalls, and potential. From exposing bias in facial recognition to championing ethical AI, Dr. Joy is leading the charge to protect what makes us human in a world dominated by machines.

As a Rhodes Scholar, MIT researcher, and author of Unmasking AI: My Mission to Protect What Is Human in a World of Machines, Dr. Joy’s groundbreaking work has reshaped the conversation on AI ethics. Her viral TED Talk and the Emmy-nominated documentary Coded Bias highlight the real-world consequences of unchecked technology and why ethical AI is essential for everyone.

AI isn’t inherently good or evil—it’s a tool. How we use it defines its impact, and being human isn’t just a feature—it’s the whole point.
