The Coded Bias World Tour is a global series of film screenings and community discussions inspired by Coded Bias, the award-winning documentary featuring computer scientist and activist Joy Buolamwini, founder of the Algorithmic Justice League (AJL). The tour marks the film’s continued impact and brings its message to new audiences around the world.
Coded Bias exposes how artificial intelligence and facial recognition systems can reproduce and amplify social inequalities — particularly racial and gender bias — embedded in the data and design choices behind them. The World Tour extends this conversation beyond the screen, creating spaces where technologists, policymakers, educators, and community members can reflect on what ethical, fair, and inclusive AI should look like.
Through screenings, panel discussions, and workshops in universities, civic centers, and cultural institutions worldwide, the tour connects local and global efforts to ensure that technology serves humanity rather than reinforces injustice. It emphasizes transparency, accountability, and the inclusion of diverse voices in AI development. More than a film event, the Coded Bias World Tour is a call to action urging societies to recognize that algorithms are not neutral and to build a future where technology upholds human rights and dignity.
