This forthcoming documentary on Ursula K. Le Guin looks like it will be very good indeed.
Coded Bias follows MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini’s startling discovery that many facial recognition technologies fail more often on darker-skinned faces, and delves into an investigation of widespread bias in artificial intelligence.

2020: an isolation odyssey is a reenactment of the iconic finale of 2001: A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubrick, 1968). Restaged in the context of home quarantine, the journey through time adapts to the mundane dramas of self-isolation–poking fun at the navel-gazing saga of life alone and indoors.
This is quite a beautiful homage to Kubrick’s masterpiece.
A thoroughly entertaining talk by Andy looking at the past, present, and future of robots, AI, and automation.
I can’t wait for this documentary to come out (I linked to its website a while back).
