In our lecture on Monday, Ms. Kass talked about gender bias in artificial intelligence and Unconscious bias. This happens on the internet more than you think because of the information that is constantly being taken in about you.  I always wondered how the internet would come up with the advertisements on my computer. Now after listening to the lecture I understand how the internet can be gender bias.  They take your recent searches and websites visits and that information is put in to show advertisements on the internet.  This can be harmful to users because advertisements could pop up that you don't want.  Just because you look something up one time, it shouldn't be taken into account for all your advertisements.  

The video that Ms. Kass showed us about the face recognition was very interesting.  Joy Buolamwini talked about her challenges of facial recognition with different skin tones.  She would have other people try the facial recognition and it would work because of their white skin color.  Unfortunately when Joy went up to the camera, her face was able to be read by the camera because of her darker skin color.  A quote that struck me, was when she said "It is hard to come up with the technology to read all of my beautiful and unique features".  This was inspiring to me because she had no shame in herself and continued to improve the technology.  

Another thing that really struck me was the different results that came up within google reaches.  Google results would vary based on different users gender.  This lecture was very interesting to me because it talked about the gender issues in current technology.  This is important because technology is such huge part of the world today and there shouldn't be gender bias in it.
