SHALINI KANTAYYA QUOTE
IG Copy: “What was terrifying to me while making @CodedBias was that A.I. not vetted for accuracy or bias are already being deployed at a massive scale to make important decisions about who gets hired, who gets health care, who gets into college or how long a prison sentence someone serves. That shook me out of my seat.” - @ShaliniKantayya, filmmaker for @CodedBias documentary.
