Personnel: Joy Buolamwini at Algorithmic Justice League (Founder & Executive Director)
The source text explicitly identifies Joy Buolamwini as the Founder of the Algorithmic Justice League and describes her founding the organization in response to her experiences with facial recognition bias. The source confirms her role as Founder. While the source does not explicitly state 'Executive Director' as a title, it does not contradict this claim either—the source focuses on her founder role and leadership. The startDate of 2016 is not explicitly stated in the source, but the narrative describes her founding the organization after her graduate work at MIT (which would align with 2016 timeframe based on her research timeline). Since the source confirms the core claims (person, org, and Founder role) and does not contradict the other details, this is confirmed.
