There is a rule for dealing with computers: garbage in, garbage out. Put the wrong number of zeroes in your Excel spreadsheet and it will unthinkingly pay your staff pennies on the pound; train a self-driving car to recognise human figures by showing it millions of pictures of white people, and it might struggle to identify pedestrians of other races.
Have a day off
Darn white people and their racist *spins wheel* Self-Driving Cars!
Lighter objects reflect more light than darker objects, so they're easier to see. That's why road signs are on a white, not a black, background. This is pretty basic stuff.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that the technology might struggle more to recognise white people as a hazard to be avoided - hence the increased testing ? It might not recognise dark skinned people specifically as people, but it does easily see them as a hazard ?
Time to ban racist technologies like self driving cars
Get a life
So a computer system is imperfect AND you fail to gather a quote from those who created the system. Instead, you just decide to call them AND their *robots* racist. COOL GREAT JOURNALISM. Wish I could hear from the scientists who built the systems you are criticizing fakenews
So you teach a machine to recognize people by only showing them pictures of white people, and then you're shocked by the result?
Now the media is telling us private transportation is racist ! 😆😆😆
Stop with the Luddite bullshit. These systems recognize SILHOUETTES and PROFILES, and are not racist, etc. For fuck's sake.
machines and pollution are racist. what a world we live in
Small children and pets might be at greater risk too.
