The objective of the symposium is to begin to draw a new industry model in which inequality and gender discrimination have no place, starting from a very simple premise: "that they no longer exist".
Lorenzo Porcaro, researcher at the MTG, will participate in the panel Promises and challenges of technology in relation to gender on April 21 at 6PM, to dicuss on the impact of technology in the music industry and the gender balance.
Lorenzo's research is focused on how recommendation technologies can reinforce cultural bias and its impact on diversity. Recently he led a work on music recommendation systems and gender biases.
