Building an Ethical Algorithmic World: A 3-Part Series

Building an Ethical Algorithmic World: A 3-Part Series 

Interested in the ethics of algorithms? Concerned with the current biases within algorithms and the dangers these biases pose to particular groups of people (e.g. women and darker-skinned people)? Join the Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) Health Cluster Alliance in this three-part Algorithmic Bias event to delve deeper into this issue. First watch a free screening of “Coded Bias”, then join a live Q&A session with the film’s director Shalini Kantayya. Finally, attend a panel discussion with experts Marc-Antoine Dilhac (Canada Research Chair in Public Ethics and Political Theory), Aline Talhouk (Assistant Professor, Obstetrics & Gynecology, UBC), and Mijung Park (Canada CIFAR AI Chair).   

Part 1: Coded Bias Screening 
October 26th – November 2nd
