This article explores Dr. Joy Buolamwini's groundbreaking work in exposing the racial and gender biases present in facial recognition technology. Her personal experience with the technology, where she had to wear a white Halloween mask for it to recognize her, sparked her mission to protect humanity in a world increasingly dominated by machines.
It feels like AI has come out of nowhere and kind of taken over, right? It's everywhere we look, from Google suggesting AI answers to virtual assistants helping us with online shopping. But for people inside the tech world like Dr Joy Buolamwini, this explosion of AI into our everyday lives has been a long time coming.
“Part of the conversation around AI bias and AI harm is that no one is immune,” Dr Joy tells GLAMOUR. “Anyone with a basic internet connection and some time can produce these photo-realistic images. It’s deeply concerning how accessible these tools are.” The same 2023 report found that it takes less than 25 minutes and costs absolutely nothing to create a 60-second sexually explicit deepfake video of anyone using just one clear face image.
