This presentation is part of Dissecting Visions of Identity and Care in the Future, a 4 part-film series made possible by the Sloan Foundation’s Science on Screen initiative. Each film will be paired with a guest speaker. Dissecting Visions of Identity and Care in the Future will evaluate how cinema’s interpretation of the future frames humankind within intersections of surveillance, race, healthcare, identity, and A.I. advancements. We are particularly interested in how the technological advancements presented in these films have implications for present day systemic injustices. Director: Shalini Kantayya | Runtime: 85 minutes | Year: 2020 | Rating: UR | Country: USA | Language: English | Documenary Genre: Documentary, AI Tagline: Modern society sits at the intersection of two crucial questions: What does it mean when artificial intelligence increasingly governs our liberties? And what are the consequences for the people AI is biased against? When MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini discovers that many facial recognition technologies do not accurately detect darker-skinned faces or classify the faces of women, she delves into an investigation of widespread bias in algorithms. As it turns out, artificial intelligence is not neutral, and women are leading the charge to ensure our civil rights are protected. Speaker: Professor Amy Alexander, Computing in the Arts, UC San Diego Visual Arts Theme: Algorithms, Bias, and Us: Fighting Back and Moving Forward (Fighting for equality and regulation of algorithmic and facial recognition technologies) Critic Quotes: “Coded Bias is not interested in wallowing in despair for the future, like many tech-infused documentaries like to do. Kantayya wants to inform and inspire change.” - Austin Chronicle

She has won 5 San Diego Music Awards including Artist of the Year. This will be an amazing evening of music and help homeless youth get off the streets in San Diego. Be an ANGEL for homeless youth and please join us. Doors of Change is a 501-C-3 Organization that has helped over 2600 homeless youth get off the streets and into safe housing since 2001. Many of these youth become self-sufficient as a result. Our Homeless Youth Advocacy program develops trust very quickly with youth. Once trust is established, homeless youth ask for help. We help the most vulnerable youth, the transitional age youth (TAY) ages 17 to 25. Most are homeless because they come from such dysfunctional families, it is safer to live on the streets or if they are LGBTQ+ and come out, their parents kick them out of their home. Since COVID-19, we have broken records for the past 3 years in placing youth in safe housing. In 2022 we shattered the record by 188 youth, placing 349 youth in safe housing in San Diego. 100% of your tickets sales will go to help homeless youth because our amazing corporate Angels have underwritten all the costs of the concert. Any donation or ticket sale with be Matched dollar per dollar and doubled by the J.D. Bud and Vonda Webb Foundation.
