Was this AI trained on an unbalanced data set? (Only black folks?) Or has it only been used to identify photos of black people? I have so many questions: some technical, some on media sensationalism

    I don’t think this is some systematic racism. Rather, it’s the technology itself that’s lacking. I remember even those motion activated bathroom sinks had problem working well with black hands. I think they’re just not good enough at differentiating between darkness and black skin.

        Just because it can be doesn’t mean that’s the first place we go to. Stupidity is more likely than maliciousness and all that.

          @nieceandtows ::gestures at mankind’s enormously long and complex history of systemic racism::

          People are going to read your post and assume that you are apologising for the police *because* they are the police. You know, one of those “they must have done something wrong or the police wouldn’t have arrested them” people.

          I’m sure you’re not one of those. Just saying how it looks.
