Why is AI a Social Justice Issue? | Buse Çetin | TEDxKonstanz

Buse Çetin guides the audience in a discussion of social injustices that may emerge from the algorithms behind social media profiles. She encourages us to have a critical approach toward the data that we and others share, to acquire “algorithmic literacy”, taking the time to think about whether the data collected about us really reflect who we are.
