On Saturday 25 April, we present two documentaries with follow-up discussions together with De Groene Amsterdammer.

Coded Bias

A deep dive into the way algorithms, artificial intelligence and Big Data increasingly govern our lives – and into ways to fight back. Coded Bias is a gripping wake-up call, starring some of the most inspiring and impressive scientists, activists and thinkers in the field.

The screening at 17:00 will be followed by a live discussion about algorithms and human rights, with Sahar Yadegari (directeur-bestuurder VHTO) and Lorena Jaume-Palasí (Founder and Executive Director of the Ethical Tech Society).

Seyran Ates: Sex, Revolution and Islam
