They are part of the system design. This book shows how everyday technologies embody racist, sexist, and ableist ideas; how they produce discriminatory and harmful outcomes; and how this can be challenged and changed"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "When technology reinforces inequality, it's not just a glitch--it's a signal that we need to redesign our systems to create a more equitable world. The word "glitch" implies an incidental error, as easy to patch up as it is to identify. But what if racism, sexism, and ableism aren't just bugs in mostly functional machinery--what if they're coded into the system itself? In the vein of heavy hitters such as Safiya Umoja Noble, Cathy O'Neil, and Ruha Benjamin, Meredith Broussard demonstrates in More Than a Glitch how neutrality in tech is a myth and why algorithms need to be held accountable. Broussard, a data scientist and one of the few Black female researchers in artificial intelligence, masterfully synthesizes concepts from computer science and sociology. She explores a range of examples: from facial recognition technology trained only to recognize lighter skin tones, to mortgage-approval algorithms that encourage discriminatory lending, to the dangerous feedback loops that arise when medical diagnostic algorithms are trained on insufficiently diverse data. Even when such technologies are designed with good intentions, Broussard shows, fallible humans develop programs that can result in devastating consequences. Broussard argues that the solution isn't to make omnipresent tech more inclusive, but to root out the algorithms that target certain demographics as 'other' to begin with. With sweeping implications for fields ranging from jurisprudence to medicine, the ground-breaking insights of More Than a Glitch are essential reading for anyone invested in building a more equitable future." -- Publisher's description 650 0 $a Technology $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Electronic data processing $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Artificial intelligence $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Discrimination. 650 0 $a Software failures. 650 7 $a Artificial intelligence $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00817279 650 7 $a Discrimination. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00894985 650 7 $a Software failures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01124200 650 7 $a Technology $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01145202 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Broussard, Meredith. $t More than a glitch $d Cambridge, Massachusetts : The MIT Press, 2023 $z 9780262373067 $w (DLC) 2022019914 941 $a 3 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240305011134.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015920.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20231021031904.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C54FC3AE6FD711EE93D6B80232ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
