...does AI think they all look alike??...are we ever going to get over this crap?
People with Dark Skin at Higher Risk of Being Hit by Self-Driving Cars, Study Finds
AI has a problem. Apparently, it's racist. Specifically, self-driving cars are racist because people of color have a greater chance of being run over by one than white people do, according to a new study published by the Georgia Institute of Technology.
The study concludes that the existing recognition technology used in self-driving cars has a harder time recognizing humans the darker their skin is.
It’s easy to start fretting about the coming robo-takeover and all its attendant Terminator and I, Robot-esque predictions about how artificial intelligence is coming for humanity. But for the moment, the real concerns about new technology aren’t so different from the old concerns: systemic bias against people of color.
The first obvious thing is that you don't know what the definition of racism is. I guess the goal is to make the term so amorphous that that you can then create a straw man.....or make everyone guilty of it to camouflage those really guilty of it.
That having been said, computers only do what humans program them to do. It's all code written by humans and if the code was designed and tested using light humans, that is not necessarily racist. If the intent was to design it that way based upon preserving an idea of the supremacy of whites, then that would be racist.

uh IS, I didn't write that......"AI has a problem. Apparently, it's racist." is from the article
too funny...even AI, self driving cars, and robots....are racists
The actual point of the article
Quote:
but the problem is in the technology not in the latent racism of the developers. There are variables creating this issue in the technology that aren't connected to the motives of the developers.
we need to be careful about seeing racism everywhere. Doing so makes it harder to combat actual racism. Self-driving cars aren't racist; the technology simply has some bugs that need to be worked out."
There seems to be a pretty big disconnect
Why did you post a thread title that is so disconnected to the premise of the article that you linked to?
