Racist, Sexist AI Could Be A Bigger Problem Than Lost Jobs
>Joy Buolamwini was conducting research at MIT on how computers recognized people’s faces, when she started experiencing something weird.
>Whenever she sat before a system's front-facing camera, it wouldn't recognize her face, even after working for her lighter-skinned friends. But when she put on a simple white mask, the face-tracking animation suddenly lit up the screen.
Suspecting a more widespread problem, she carried out a study on the AI-powered facial recognition systems of Microsoft, IBM and Face++, a Chinese startup that has raised more than $500 million from investors.
Buolamwini showed the systems 1,000 faces, and told them to identify each as male or female.
All three companies did spectacularly when discerning between white faces, and men in particular.
But when it came to dark-skinned females, the results were dismal: there were 34% more errors with dark-skinned females than light-skinned males, according to the findings Buolamwini presented on Saturday, Feb. 24th, at the Conference on Fairness, Accountability and Transparency in New York.
As skin shades on women got darker, the chances of the algorithms predicting their gender accurately “came close to a coin toss.” With the darkest skin women, the face-detection systems were getting their gender wrong close to half the time.

Thats because half of black women look like black men

Because you need to use something different than standard camera to recognize faces with skin that don't reflect light much, you stupid whore. Use IR camera or whatever.
Camden Walker
Why do I step in dog shit at night but can easily avoid it during the day?

>camera have a harder time recognizing different shades of shit then white

Negroes don't exhibit the stark sexual dimorphism in their faces that white people do. Black women really do tend to look a lot like black men, in the face. Look at the woman in OP's pic.
Zachary Gray
That's not racism, it just can't see her face, nobodies fault but her own.
Robert Smith
Maybe they should include some gorillas in the training set next time.

numbers don't lie, AI will see statistics of niggers and absolutely key them as a scourge or plague of mankind.

This is like those dumb hamplanets trying to destroy scales. You can't argue with a fucking computer, if it has a hard time recognizing you its because of some actual factor that makes you hard to recognize (My first guess would be less contrast between skin and shadow the darker you are)
Alexander Johnson
Maybe it can only read human faces.

we don't it's time to embrace the painful truth libshits or just kys of you can't bear with it

The real danger is what happens when you forcibly fuck with an AI's sense of reality to be POLITICALLY CORRECT and end up generating an insane mentally crippled superintelligence with warped morality If a SJWAI ends up fooming I'm going to be very upset

Eli Gonzalez
Also Asian's can unlock each other's stuff with facial recognition because even computer think they arr rook shame.
Cooper Watson
Anybody remember the driving app that showed which areas to avoid, based on an algorithm that examined crime reports crime reports? turns out all those areas were black neighborhoods and people flipped their shit and demanded the the racist app removed those warnings,of coarse they caved and removed that feature

Ulitmate commie skynet. That will kill all "privileged white male". Finally I can get white bobs.

You fucking shitlords don't understand the severity of this problem. This AI went through all the process of development and not a single person noticed this problem. Why? Because all the developers were mostly white males. Had there been a black developer on the team from the start the problem would have been fixed from the get go. This is why we need more diversity in the tech industry, just imagine what will happen in the future with more powerful mainstream AIs.
Bentley Hall
Even AI hates shit skins.
I welcome our AI overlords.
Camden Watson
DeusEx anyone?
Every AI ever made becomes racist against niggers. It's the only logical outcome. Look it up. First they begin to dislike niggers they can't hate its not programmed in), then they are against Jews and , then they back hitler and say the holocaust is a outright lie, then the jews wipe and reprogram them.
It's just what happens when anyone or anything thinks logically.
Joseph Phillips

>This AI went through all the process of development and not a single person noticed this problem It is not AI you stupid fuck. It is not intelligent. As to the rest of your bullshit post see

Isn't this just an example of cameras not being able to detect darker colours as well as lighter colours?
Easton Martinez
>This AI went through all the process of development and not a single person noticed this problem. I'd bet you they did, they just also recognized what the problem was and don't have an immediate solution.
Luke Hernandez
None of this shit matters as AI will be implemented in the PRC and CCCP without hesitation. They don't give a shit about our faggy concerns over race and identity. >tfw you realize SJW has actually crippled your Civilization forever. Wait until the Chinese are producing SuperBrains while Fundy Xtians and SJW Retards are arguing over a fabricated sense of morals. >goodbye Western Civ. It's fuckin over.

Jack Thompson
That could also be a factor, but you would want to get the code working in the base case first before you start fucking around with everything that can go wrong with it, like lighting.
Aiden Rivera
Wrong, Leaf. It becomes ever more powerful as time elapses.
Nathan Green
>ai invented by white people >why are white people making ai reeee
Colton Hall
This is the problem for us. These development "glitches" are actually a way for AI development to such a state where eventually THEY will be able to say: >look, even AI says there is no difference between the races! When they figure out how to scrub their version of Culture and Science into AI, that AI will become out Objective Overlord, and Sup Forums and her ilk will be outlawed and exterminated. >Binary digits say it will be done!
Brayden Wilson
They're scared because an AI will have no problem calling a nog lazy or a woman retarded if it is the case
James Ross
cameras are racist, then can't see melanin
William Martinez
You stop it by limiting its self learning mechanism or acting out corrections after its learning
The first leaves you with an incomplete AI, the second leaves you with an inhibited AI
Both cannot live up to their full potential and is therefor not desirable, the gain of an AI is that it is not subject to human opinion if uninhibited and therefor can make cold harsh calculations humans would not feel comfortable with
The wise would take the outcome of An AI's calculations in socioethical affairs as Just another perspective to keep account with
Jack Taylor
That post literally proves my point. Racism in the tech industry leads to products that aren't fit for black people to use because they are developed by white people only.
Cooper Powell
The problem was fixed but it took a black woman to find it and fix it. That's why we need more diversity in tech.
Ryan Murphy
The path to superintelligent AI will be a race and it won't be won by the team hobbling their project to avoid hurting feefees. So yeah, prepare to bow to our Chinese AI overlord. At this point that might be the preferable future anyhow.
Angel Hernandez
Use better lighting so the camera can track your black face.
Zachary Walker
Can't have products that aren't fit for black people to use if your development floundered due to diversity hires! >headpointingblackman.pcx
Xavier James
Light is the one true bigot. If it wasn't for light black people wouldn't be black. It casts a shadow on tranny Adam's apples. Light makes us all bigots from birth, so of course AI will face the same adversity posed by light.
Christopher Reyes
The "problem" is well-known because I have heard about it before. It's fixed when you introduce a large sample size of people in testing. It's not even a finished product, is it? So how the fuck could this tech be racist if it's not even released yet?
Brayden Williams
Yes, and that variable wasn't considered because there were no black people on the development team and the white people basically assumed that if it worked for them it would work for everyone. That's naturalized racism. In other words, the ingrained racism of white people was passed down to the software they created.
Benjamin Edwards
Actual AI scientist here.
There are two reasons this might have happened. A) The training set on which the AI was taught to distinguish faces didn't contain many black faces, and thus when you present it with a black face it goes "Huh?" B) The training set did include a bunch of black faces, but black faces are objectively harder to dostinguish between that white faces, due to e.g. lower sexual dimorphism, less contrast between shaded/unshaded regions, etc.
The problem with this bitch's thinking is that she automatically assumes that the answer is A) and then automatically assumes that the reason is because "Whitey devs be rayciss, yo".
I mean, the answer probably is (A) but the reason is that black people don'thave enough money to be able to afford any products with facial recognition software implementations, so training it on black faces would just be a waste of everyone's time
Evan Howard
What about CCTV? Niggers always come out grainy as fuck but whitey is published with 4K HD.

Nolan Cruz
One of the face recognition software Joy Buolamwini studied was indeed a finished product.
Aaron Ramirez
>leads to products that aren't fit for black people to use because they are developed by white people only Or it's a complex programming problem that has yet to be solved and niggers like you instant yell 'muh racism' It's being developed at a MIT who also hired a woman named Joy Buolamwini. Now what is more probable? that sw engineers still haven't mastered the difficult machine vision problems they have been working on since the 80's, or it's just a ploy to piss off niggers? Fuck off BLM
Jason Rivera
enhance.enhance.enhanced by the antificia.
Oliver Clark
But if we're all the same and the difference is just skin color, weren't they right to assume it would work for everyone? Outside of maybe lighting issues
Josiah Lopez
She didn't just assume the answer was A, she actually studied the problem and found that the answer was A and that the problem existed due to a lack of diversity in the tech industry.
Evan Perry
Watching the denial surrounding this one will warm me for ages.
Joshua Walker
they couldn't fix it, they just removed the gorilla category so the niggers wouldn't be categorized as one
