DESCRIPTION:Chapter 1: Introduction\; Chapter 2: Understanding Machine Bias
 \n\n \n\nThis reading group will examine how biases manifest in AI systems\
 , with the goal of identifying methods for inviting students into critical 
 reflection on AI in coursework. The group will read a well-regarded\, acces
 sible book on AI bias that builds on what Ruha Benjamin raised in her 2024 
 ETD talk: how algorithmic bias can impair our ability to imagine the possib
 ilities obscured by limited datasets. The book\, Meredith Broussard’s More 
 than a Glitch: Confronting Race\, Gender\, and Ability Bias in Tech (April 
 2024)\, explores how AI mirrors the biases manifest in society\, and provid
 es a framework for collective action to build awareness of such biases and 
 develop strategies to educate the public. \n\n \n\nAll BC instructors–facul
 ty and graduate students–are welcome to join the conversation. Those who ar
 e able to commit to all three sessions will receive a physical copy of the 
 book. The ebook is also available for download via the BC library. The grou
 p will meet from 12:00-1:15 pm three times: Wednesday\, February 12\, Thurs
 days\, March 13\, and Monday\, April 1.  Each session will be held as a hyb
 rid meeting with a maximum of 20 in-person participants per session.\n\n \n
