Meredith Broussard

More Than a Glitch

Confronting Race, Gender, and Ability Bias in Tech

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Broussard argues that the structural inequalities reproduced in algorithmic systems are no glitch. 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."--
