Safiya Umoja Noble

En el episodio de hoy, hablaremos de: Algoritmos de opresión, el libro de Safiya Umoja Noble, que plantea que la inteligencia artificial y los motores de búsqueda no son neutrales. La autora revela cómo los algoritmos refuerzan sesgos raciales y de género, moldeando percepciones distorsionadas del mundo. Esto se debe a que los algoritmos reflejen las jerarquías sociales y prioricen contenidos que son económicamente rentables. Noble introduce el concepto de “opresión algorítmica” y hace un llamado a diseñar la tecnología con mayor justicia, responsabilidad y ética. Usando la IA para hacerte más humano.

Generative AI is reshaping classrooms and campuses, but with whose values, and at what cost? In this episode, Safiya Umoja Noble, author of Algorithms of Oppression and founder of the UCLA Center on Resilience and Digital Justice, joins Sarah and Taiyo to unpack why “neutral” AI isn’t neutral, why interdisciplinarity is hard but essential, and what a public‑interest technology ecosystem in higher ed could look like. My Robot Teacher is hosted by Sarah Senk and Taiyo Inoue, sponsored by the California Education Learning Lab, and produced by editaudio.

The work of human hands retains evidence of the humans who created the works. While this might seem obvious in the case of something like a painting, where the artist's touch is the featured aspect, it's much less obvious in things that aren't supposed to betray their humanity. Take the algorithms that power search engines, which are expected to produce unvarnished and unbiased results, but which nonetheless reveal the thinking and implicit biases of their programmers. While in an age where things like facial recognition or financial software algorithms are shown to uncannily reproduce the prejudices of their creators, this was much less obvious earlier in the century, when researchers like Safiya Umoja Noble were dissecting search engine results and revealing the sometimes appalling material they were highlighting. In this Social Science Bites podcast, Noble -- the David O. Sears Presidential Endowed Chair of Social Sciences and professor of gender studies, African American studies, and information studies at the University of California, Los Angeles -- explains her findings, insights and recommendations for improvement with host David Edmonds. And while we've presented this idea of residual digital bias as something somewhat intuitive, getting here was an uphill struggle, Noble reveals. "It was a bit like pushing a boulder up a mountain -- people really didn't believe that search engines could hold these kinds of really value-laden sensibilities that are programmed into the algorithm by the makers of these technologies. Even getting this idea that the search engine results hold values, and those values are biased or discriminatory or harmful, is probably the thrust of the contribution that I've made in a scholarly way." But through her academic work, such as directing the Center on Race & Digital Justice and co-directing of the Minderoo Initiative on Tech & Power at the UCLA Center for Critical Internet Inquiry and books like the 2018 title Algorithms of Oppression: How Search Engines Reinforce Racism, the scale of the problem and the harm it leaves behind are becoming known. Noble's own contributions have been recognized, too, such as being named a MacArthur Foundation fellow in 2021 and the inaugural NAACP-Archewell Digital Civil Rights Award winner in 2022.

FIRST CHAPTER FRIDAYS presents Safiya Umoja Noble's Algorithms of Oppression: How Search Engines Reinforce Racism. A revealing look at how negative biases against women of color are embedded in search engine results and algorithms. Run a Google search for “black girls”—what will you find? “Big Booty” and other sexually explicit terms are likely to come up as top search terms. But, if you type in “white girls,” the results are radically different. The suggested porn sites and un-moderated discussions about “why black women are so sassy” or “why black women are so angry” presents a disturbing portrait of black womanhood in modern society. In Algorithms of Oppression , Safiya Umoja Noble challenges the idea that search engines like Google offer an equal playing field for all forms of ideas, identities, and activities. Data discrimination is a real social problem; Noble argues that the combination of private interests in promoting certain sites, along with the monopoly status of a relatively small number of Internet search engines, leads to a biased set of search algorithms that privilege whiteness and discriminate against people of color, specifically women of color. Through an analysis of textual and media searches as well as extensive research on paid online advertising, Noble exposes a culture of racism and sexism in the way discoverability is created online. As search engines and their related companies grow in importance—operating as a source for email, a major vehicle for primary and secondary school learning, and beyond—understanding and reversing these disquieting trends and discriminatory practices is of utmost importance. An original, surprising and, at times, disturbing account of bias on the internet, Algorithms of Oppression contributes to our understanding of how racism is created, maintained, and disseminated in the 21st century.

Today on Live Life in Motion, I talk with Dr. Safiya Noble. Noble's research focuses on gender, technology, and culture, and how they influence the design and use of the internet. In this episode, the Algorithms of Oppression author reveals how Big Tech and media advertisers manipulate search results to increase their revenues and decrease our attention span — and how these changes affect our society. The truth is out there. We just might not find it in .03 seconds. She also shares how some kinds of information just don’t come through on the internet and why it’s so important for us to stay aware of the ingredients in our digital diet. We discuss how racism is expressed through supposedly neutral algorithms, and why we all need to stop implicitly trusting technology just because it uses a lot of math.

In this episode The Reel Ethics discusses the ethical dilemma that surrounds search engines; unethical and discriminatory practices of tech companies in what author Safiya Umoja Noble calls the “Algorithms of Oppression”. So, listen as we look at how ratings and reviews determine one’s worth and access to the finer things in life based off of data and perception, controlled by bias algorithms and the people that design and develop them. As we talk with San Diego based photographer, activist and educator Alejandro Martinez founder of Tira Together arts project in Tijuana. In this Episode “Ethics and The Search”.

In the tenth episode of Voices of the Data Economy , we had a conversation with Dr. Safiya Umoja Noble, Author of Algorithms of Oppression and Associate Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in the Department of Information Studies. During this discussion, she spoke about how search engines like Google reinforce discrimination, the role of government regulations in protecting data, and why big corporates are now talking about data protection rights. Voices of Data Economy is supported by Ocean Protocol Foundation. Ocean is kickstarting a Data Economy by breaking down data silos and equalizing access to data for all.
