The host for this episode is Jay Fidell. The guest for this episode is Matthew James Bailey.

Matthew James Bailey helps us understand Coded Bias: The Movie, and why it is so chilling. We discuss the premise and discovery of the movie on racial bias in this country and others, and also the practices of tech, social media and advertising industries on collecting data from and about us, predictive analysis, determination of personal tastes and vulnerabilities, and the use of those technologies to affect purchasing behavior, pubic opinion on public policy and voting in the American data marketplace.
