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

      The question here is: Why can’t the software interpreting the images discern black people as well?

        Parent commentor is being downvoted… but with a camera tuned for outdoor visibility I can see why it’s difficult to detect features on a person with darker skin…

      Nothing more? A pregnant lady was arrested and put in jail. If this AI “can’t discern” then it shouldn’t be used to make arrests.
