  “More than a Glitch: Confronting Race, Gender, and Ability Bias in Tech” 

  Meredith Broussard, a Black female data scientist and artificial intelligence researcher, takes a closer look into potential consequences that can arise from algorithms that are anything but inclusive. “More than a Glitch” shares Broussard’s argument to address algorithms that harmfully target certain demographics. A timely and relevant response to the boom of AI and machine learning, the book provides examples of the dangers of technology built on insufficiently diverse datasets, algorithms that encourage discriminatory practices, and other biases built within the technologies we are becoming increasingly reliant upon. Leveraging concepts from sociology and computer science, she lays it all out for readers in this well-written and fascinating book.
