Fury as viral 'ImageNet' app gives racist labels and calls people a 'rape suspect'

A viral app which classifies selfies using its in-built artificial intelligence has been spewing out vile and racist labels and enraging users. Many took to social media to condemn the racist and offensive software but makers of the app, at Princeton University, say causing offence was exactly the intention. It was intended to be deliberately provocative to draw attention to the in-built prejudice and discrimination in many forms of machine learning. However, many users, it seems, didn't fully get the idea of the art project and were outraged at what their images were labelled as. One MailOnline staffer who tried the app was grotesquely dubbed a'rape suspect' from an innocuous picture.
