In her research, first published in 2017, Buolamwini showed that the facial recognition algorithms developed by IBM, Microsoft, Face++ and Google were based on a limited data set and less accurate when identifying darker and female faces than in identifying lighter and male faces. In developing this theme, the documentary features the work of Joy Buolamwini, an African-American MIT Media Lab researcher and founder of the Algorithmic Justice League who has specialized in uncovering such biases in facial recognition technologies. The central argument of Coded Bias is that the computer algorithms used in artificial intelligence, machine learning and facial recognition systems are “embedded” with the race and gender biases of society as a whole. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in early 2020 and has since received positive reviews and several awards including Best International Documentary at the 2020 Calgary International Film Festival. Coded Bias - an 85-minute documentary directed by Shalini Kantayya ( A Drop of Life, 2007 and Catching the Sun, 2015)-began streaming globally on Netflix in April.
