[LGM] Losing Lena screening at LGM

[Antonio Roberts]

Hi LGM!

I'd like to propose that at the next LGM (either 2021 or the proposed
online version) there is a screening of the the 2019 documentary Losing
Lena https://www.losinglena.com/

Here's a description from the website:

This compelling film debunks the myth that men are innately more suited to
a career in tech. It breaks down diversity barriers, shows the success of
incredible ‘digital women’ and looks to the future. As we rush into AI and
machine learning, will we learn from unintended biases of the past like
Lena, or are we doomed to repeat them?

There's a short excerpt on the website and you can watch the full video
here https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=985614161797010

The video is licenced under CC-BY-NC. To screen it it looks like someone
would need to get in touch with them https://www.losinglena.com/#contact-us

It deals with images and the early days of jpgs so I think it'd be a good
addition. More importantly it talks about a side of ethics that I don't
think I've seen mentioned at an LGM before (I haven't been to each one so I
could be wrong).

Would be good to hear everyone's thoughts.

Kind regards,

Antonio
