How does AI read your face? (eeep!!)

Deepen your understanding of Facial Recognition Technologies (FRTs) in this hands-on workshop with special guest presenter Dr. Jaleesa Trapp, Senior Education Advisor at MIT Media Lab’s Algorithmic Justice League!

By playing with different ways to subvert FRTs, participants will grow their capacity to learn about, critique, and challenge surveillance technology. This workshop aligns with the CSTA Humans and AI Prioritized Learning Outcomes. It highlights the human role in creating AI and the choice to use AI.
