코드의 시인, 조이입니다.
an unseen force that's rising,
부르는 힘인데요.
알고리즘의 편견이라 부르죠.
results in unfairness.
불평등을 초래하지만
can spread bias on a massive scale
편견을 빠른 속도로 퍼뜨릴 수 있어요.
to exclusionary experiences
자신이 배제되는 경험이나
I've got a face.
이게 내 얼굴이야.
내 가면이 보이니?
노력하고 있을까요?
at the MIT Media Lab,
대학원생이었어요.
on all sorts of whimsical projects,
참여할 수 있었는데
digital masks onto my reflection.
모습에 디지털 가면을 씌우는 것이죠.
to feel powerful,
I might have a quote.
명언을 띄울 수 있었죠.
facial recognition software
소프트웨어를 사용하여
unless I wore a white mask.
굉장히 테스트하기 어려웠어요.
into this issue before.
이런 문제에 부딪힌 적이 있어요.
at Georgia Tech studying computer science,
컴퓨터 공학 전공생이었을 때
to play peek-a-boo,
로봇을 만들기였죠.
and then uncover it saying, "Peek-a-boo!"
"까꿍!"이라고 말하는 게임이죠.
doesn't really work if I can't see you,
얼굴을 볼 수 있어야 하는데
to get the project done,
빌려서 프로젝트를 끝냈고
somebody else will solve this problem.
라고 생각했어요.
for an entrepreneurship competition.
to take participants
방문하도록 했어요.
until it got to me,
저만 빼고요.
무슨 일이냐고 물었고
generic facial recognition software.
소프트웨어를 쓴 게 문제였어요.
can travel as quickly
파일을 다운로드받는 것처럼
some files off of the internet.
있다는 걸 알았어요.
Why isn't my face being detected?
왜 제 얼굴은 인식되지 않죠?
at how we give machines sight.
있게 하는지 알아보세요.
machine learning techniques
머신 러닝 기술을 사용해
a training set with examples of faces.
연습 세트를 만들어 놓죠.
This is not a face.
이건 얼굴이 아니다.
how to recognize other faces.
얼굴 인식을 가르칠 수 있어요.

그렇게 다양하지 않다면
from the established norm
좋은 소식도 있어요.

배제에 대해 알게되었는지 보셨어요.
to discriminatory practices.
관행으로 이어질 수도 있습니다.
facial recognition software
사용하기 시작했어요.
in the US -- that's 117 million people --
미국 성인 둘 중 한 명의 얼굴이
in facial recognition networks.
올려져 있어요.

알고리즘을 사용하면서요.
is not fail proof,
있다는 것을 알고 있고
remains a challenge.
과제로 남아있어요.
when we see other people
보고 매번 웃어요.

잘못 파악하는 것은
시민의 자유를 침해하죠.

파괴적인 알고리즘이죠.

how we create more inclusive code
하는지가 중요하죠.
with diverse individuals
팀을 만들고 있나요?
how we code matters.
코딩을 하는지가 중요해요.
as we're developing systems?
공정함을 염두에 두고 있나요?
하는지가 중요해요.

컴퓨터를 도구로 사용했어요.
to unlock even greater equality
얻을 기회가 있어요.
that will make up the "incoding" movement.
'인코딩' 운동을 구성합니다.
we can start thinking about
우리는 편견을 분별하는 플랫폼을
like the ones I shared,
다른 사람들의 경험을 모으고
검사하면서 말이죠.
more inclusive training sets.
만들기 시작할 수 있어요.
상상해 보세요.
developers test and create
연습 세트를 만드는 데
도움을 줄 수 있는 거예요.

사회적 영향에 대해
of the technology that we're developing.
Justice League,
can help fight the coded gaze.
'코딩된 시선'에 맞서 싸우는 걸 도와줍니다.
편견을 보고하거나
테스터가 될 수 있으며
works for all of us,
and center social change.
중시하는 세상을 만드는데 동참하셨으면 합니다.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Joy Buolamwini - Poet of codeJoy Buolamwini's research explores the intersection of social impact technology and inclusion.
Why you should listen
Joy Buolamwini is a poet of code on a mission to show compassion through computation. As a graduate researcher at the MIT Media Lab, she leads the Algorithmic Justice League to fight coded bias. Her research explores the intersection of social impact technology and inclusion. In support of this work, Buolamwini was awarded a $50,000 grant as the Grand Prize winner of a national contest inspired by the critically acclaimed film Hidden Figures, based on the book by Margot Lee Shetterly.
Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, Buolamwini's global interest in creating technology for social impact spans multiple industries and countries. As the inaugural Chief Technology Officer for Techturized Inc., a hair care technology company, and Swift Tech Solutions, a global health tech consultancy, she led software development for underserved communities in the United States, Ethiopia, Mali, Nigeria and Niger. In Zambia, she explored empowering citizens with skills to create their own technology through the Zamrize Project. In the United Kingdom, Buolamwini piloted a Service Year Initiative to launch Code4Rights which supports youth in creating meaningful technology for their communities in partnership with local organizations.
Through Filmmakers Collaborative, Buolamwini produces media that highlight diverse creators of technology. Her short documentary, The Coded Gaze: Unmasking Algorithmic Bias, debuted at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and her pilot of the Code4Rights: Journey To Code training series debuted at the Vatican. She has presented keynote speeches and public talks at various forums including #CSforAll at the White House, Harvard University, Saïd Business School, Rutgers University, NCWIT, Grace Hopper Celebration and SXSWedu.
Buolamwini is a Rhodes Scholar, Fulbright Fellow, Google Anita Borg Scholar, Astronaut Scholar, A Stamps President's Scholar and Carter Center technical consultant recognized as a distinguished volunteer. She holds a master's degree in Learning and Technology from Oxford University and a bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the Georgia Institute of Technology. Buolamwini serves as a Harvard resident tutor at Adams House where she mentors students seeking scholarships or pursuing entrepreneurship.
