Interest Groups

Interest Groups is a new MS SDM initiative and will consist of facilitated Slack channels and monthly meet-ups dedicated to topics of importance to the MS SDM community, including students and alumni.

Interest Group topics were chosen based on student and alumni feedback. We’ve created channels on the MS SDM Alumni slack and are inviting all current students and alumni to join. Here, participants can share their thoughts, upcoming events, job openings, news, and resources.

Interest group topics:

• Socio-politics, economics, justice & equity
• Climate change & sustainability
• Future of work
• Tech, AI & robotics
• Wellbeing & wellness

About the Movie

Coded Bias explores the fallout of MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini’s discovery that facial recognition does not see dark-skinned faces accurately, and her journey to push for the first-ever legislation in the U.S. to govern against bias in the algorithms that impact us all.
