Inflection Point with Lauren Schiller; How Search Engines Reinforce Racism & Sexism - Dr. Safiya Umoja Noble
Description:
What we think of as “the great equalizer”-- the internet--and the algorithms behind it, created by humans, is serving up content that is sexist and racist and biased. That discovery was the beginning of an investigation that eventually became a book, “Algorithms of Oppression: How Search Engines Reinforce Racism.” In this episode of Inflection Point, Lauren Schiller talks with the author and assistant professor at Annenberg School for Communication at USC, Dr. Safiya Noble.
