This is so predictable. Me and many others predicted this would happen years ago. They didn’t train it on black faces well enough.

It doesn’t help that photography historically had (and still has?) a problem with dark skin.

The lesson that technology isn’t neutral by definition is one that we would do well to heed with all this machine learning going on.

Predictable. Biased datasets and company execs who can tell AI from their own ass.

The sooner assholes who don’t know the pitfalls and limitations of AI get punished for this stupidity the better off society will be.
