Details

Article

Landecker Fellow Nushin Yazdani and Marie Leidinger recently co-wrote an article, titled “Die Vermessung der Emotionen” for The Gunda Werner Institute for Feminism and Gender Democracy site. The piece discusses the emotion recognition systems that are widely used in our society today. Even though these systems have been proven to reinforce racist biases, they are still used by various organizations for their faster recruiting process. Additionally, they do often provide more security and better access to the needs of potential customers. Nushin and Marie’s article explores the different aspects of these systems.
