Is that a result of a skewed training set or are people really hard to tell apart from gorillas if there are no obvious tells like large difference in brightness of different areas of the face?
Gorillas have black and human-like faces. I think they're just quite similar so AI can more easily confuse them.
Humans are primates. It's weird that it selected such a broad label, but it didn't select an incorrect label.
I worked for another computer vision company, Clarifai that had the same issue. One of the employees noticed it and we retrained the model before it became public.
This is what amazes me. Given this exact thing has happened in the past and resulted in public humiliation of the companies involved, how did they not notice this? Why didn’t they check for it?
AI models are deterministic in a purely technical sense, but practically speaking, they are non-deterministic black boxes. It’s not as if you can write a unit test which generates all possible videos of black people and makes sure it never outputs “gorilla”.

This isn't a problem with diversity. Everybody knows how to pronounce Malcom X. And it's not like just because a google engineer was black that he was like "oh, let's try and see if Malcom X is pronounced correctly because he's black and I'm black too". This only happens in white people's brain.
I don't know if I 100% align up with how you stated it, but yea, its a matter of training data set. I don't think these companies have published their training data set. But thinking back on the issue with asians and facial recognition on Apple's face ID. If they just choose 100 people at random, based off US statistics, 5-6 of those 100 people would have been Asian. And that reflects the 5.7 percent of the populatio…

Human-like really depends on your interpretation. That's a generous reading of what's going on. If you google Gorilla faces, I don't think you would be confused. The AI is not that smart and these examples show it.
Us humans are super good at distinguishing faces. So what's obviously different to us might not be so clear to an AI or another species.

Consider too what they are likely using for inputs: photos with associated comments. I don't know Facebook's TOS sufficiently to know whether they are using private groups as source material, but if you're utilizing bigoted content to train pattern recognition, you will replicate bigoted content.
I wonder why this was downvoted. It's an interesting hypothesis.
I don't like these stories. It always trends towards the most inflammatory arguments, those being inherint bias and unconscious racism put upon our technology. Real issues in those topics aside, are any articles like this doing anything but feeding flames and generating ad revenue? Instead, I want to talk about pareidolia. Humans are social creatures. We have evolved to identify others of our kind and read their expr…
>I don't like these stories. It always trends towards the most inflammatory arguments, those being inherint bias and unconscious racism put upon our technology. Oh well, it's the times we live in. If people simply laughed at the results and fixed the problems they'd miss all the endorphin rush of outrage.

I don't know if this is necessarily true. We have separate charges for murder and manslaughter for example.
The end outcome and impact on everyone (in your case, the deceased, the family) depends on intent. Doesn’t change the original statement I made one bit

So, this is going to happen.

Haven't you heard? Words are literal violence and making me feel unsafe . This cannot stand, and the situation must be rectified, otherwise you are complicit.

>Us humans are super good at distinguishing faces. It would be interesting to test a bunch of midwesterners at their ability to tell Asians apart or to be able to distinguish various Asian ethnicities. My guess is that a lot of the distinguishing features that they look for are altered or missing.
