California State University Communications Essay

A detailed outline of your presentation with a list of references you used to research the topic (submit a
MS-Word document).
Presentation Topic:
You will research and present on the following topic: algorithmic bias in artificial intelligence systems.
You have a lot of flexibility as to how to approach the subject, but you need to present a coherent
message. Here are the key points you will need to address in your presentation:
• Briefly describe what is an artificial intelligence system.
• Identify some of the most common uses of artificial intelligence systems.
• Explain the causes of algorithmic bias.
• Explain how society can deal with algorithmic bias in AI systems.
As a starting point you may wish to view the documentary titled “Coded Bias” in Netflix which discusses
racial biases in racial recognition algorithms. Also, CNN Business published a related report titled “A
facial recognition match sent this innocent Black man to jail.”
