The Future with Artificial Intelligence: Even technology is racist - theGrio

It's a well-known fact that humans are prone to be racist, but as artificial intelligence evolves, it has become evident that technology is racist too. Recent studies have found flaws in technological "advancements" that disadvantage people of a darker hue. For example, a ProPublica study found that software used to determine prison sentences for criminals (ostensibly to eradicate human bias) is biased against Black people. Similarly, an MIT Media Lab study revealed that certain facial recognition software can't seem to identify women of color. Technology like that and other artificial intelligence innovations rely on algorithms.
