Google causing more facial recognition problems, machine learning goes quantum and losing a job if an AI doesn't like your face

Roundup Welcome to this week's machine learning musings. Google has upset city officials by trying to improve its facial recognition technology, and the new TensorFlow 2.0 has been released. Google offered $5 gift vouchers to black homeless people and Atlanta city isn't happy: Facial recognition datasets are unfairly dominated with images of white men, so Google hired third-party contractors to go around recording people's faces by offering them vouchers. The temp agency, Randstad, were told to target people of darker skin, and, unfortunately, some of those people were homeless people living on the streets in Atlanta. The methods used to tempt them were ethically dubious.
