CYBER Artificial Intelligence - Facial Recognition Is Accurate, if You’re a White Guy: NYTimes

Facial Recognition Is Accurate, if You’re a White Guy - The New York Times: "When the person in the photo is a white man, the software is right 99 percent of the time.

But the darker the skin, the more errors arise — up to nearly 35% for images of darker skinned women, according to a new study that breaks fresh ground by measuring how the technology works on people of different races and gender.

 These disparate results, calculated by Joy Buolamwini, a researcher at the M.I.T. Media Lab, show how some of the biases in the real world can seep into artificial intelligence, the computer systems that inform facial recognition." 'via Blog this'
