Ending Racial Biases in Face Recognition AI – Kairos – Medium

This resonates with me very personally as a minority founder in the face recognition space. So deeply in fact, that I actually wrote about my thoughts in an October 2016 article titled "Kairos' Commitment to Your Privacy and Facial Recognition Regulations" wherein I acknowledged the impact of the problem, and expressed Kairos' position on the importance of rectification. I felt then, and now, that it is our responsibility as a Face Recognition provider to respond to this research and begin working together as an industry to eliminate disparities. Because when people become distrustful of technology that can positively impact global culture, everyone involved has a duty to pay attention. Joy Buolamwini of the M.I.T. Media Lab has released research [1] on what she calls "the coded gaze", or, algorithmic bias.
