UnBias Awareness Cards

Emancipating Users Against Algorithmic Biases

 

 

One of the outputs from the UnBias Youth Juries and the UnBias project overall was a ‘Fairness Toolkit’, developed with Giles Lane and his team at Proboscis, with the input of young people and stakeholders. It aims to promote awareness and stimulate a public civic dialogue about how algorithms shape online experiences.

One aspect of this toolkit is a set of Awareness Cards. You can download a printable cards set & leaflet (zip archive 993Kb) or purchase your own print on demand deck of cards. Using an Impact Exploration Grant, we were able to test these cards with a broad range of users, co-creating with them a series of games designed to be both fun and educational. These games have been written up in a booklet aimed at others who might want to facilitate sessions using the cards. The UnBias Awareness Cards Facilitator Booklet is free to download and use – perhaps as part of a Youth Jury session. We would love to hear what you do with the cards and any other aspect of the Toolkit!
