Join Wayne State University Libraries for an interactive workshop in Lab B on February 9th from 2:30p-3:30p for a hands-on workshop about something you use every day: the online algorithms that decide what you see, what you don't, and what you believe is "true." We will introduce ethical questions about algorithms, the concept of algorithmic oppression, and do a group activity to begin to brainstorm around these issues. At the end, we will provide some anti-doxxing and privacy tips! Join the Wayne State University Libraries 

"So what? I just use Google to bang out my homework?"

-Your reality depends on it. If the top results are biased, incomplete, or optimized for profit, your information is too.
-AI can and will feed you misinformation. Learn to navigate the muddy waters so you don't drown in the slop.
-Bias is more than an abstract concept from your classes: it controls what gets treated as credible, which communities are stereotyped, and which voices get buried.
-Privacy isn't optional anymore. The tools you "just use for class" collect patterns about you that are sold and leaked.
