robots built by racists are racist, cool, cool cool cool

Remember when I said self-driving cars might be dangerous to pedestrians and everybody said I was being a luddite for no reason? Well.

But tech is infallible! A learning curve is expected! /sarcasm

wait roll these out then so they can run me over and pay tuition!!!

Many facial recongnition programs using majority white databases so if they are programmed with only white data, they don’t know anything else. Science is never free from bias and programmers and designers have biases that are reflected in their coding

is this also why automatic soap dispensers don’t wanna work when they see my black ass hand

^^ i’ve seen that bullshit yes

My dad worked in an office building where they installed those. One day two women came out of the bathroom asking all the women on the floor to come to the bathroom.

One of the women was black and couldn’t get the soap dispenser to work. The other was white and had no trouble. In their experiment of a few dozen women, all the light-skinned women could get it to work and none of the dark-skinned women could.

Bias is everywhere. Don’t let people tell you technology is neutral.
