Meredith Broussard is an Associate Professor at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute of New York University and serves as Research Director at the NYU Alliance for Public Interest Technology. She also sits on the advisory board for the Center for Critical Race and Digital Studies. Her work bridges computer science and sociology, focusing on exposing systemic biases in AI and advocating for equitable technological redesign.
Her research examines how AI systems perpetuate societal inequalities through racial, gender, and ability biases. Notable examples include mortgage approval algorithms favoring white applicants, facial recognition inaccuracies for people of color, and biased medical diagnostic models. She argues that these systems often replicate historical inequities encoded in their training data.
Broussard’s books, More Than A Glitch (2024) and Artificial Unintelligence (2018), critique AI’s limitations and societal impacts. She emphasizes the need for human-centered approaches to technology, urging vigilance against unchecked algorithmic systems.
Her career spans journalism (Philadelphia Inquirer), software development (AT&T Bell Labs, MIT Media Lab), and public advocacy. Broussard combines technical expertise with critical social analysis to challenge technochauvinism and promote justice in tech.
