Or maybe it's just one of the simpler and least computationally expensive ways to do it? No systemic racism needed (unless you're stretching the meaning of the word beyond all recognition)
- sudosysgen 6y agoI'm not stretching the word beyond anything past it's intended meaning. If passive optical image based image recognition was as performant for most people as it is in general for black people it wouldn't be acceptable. The fact that this trade-off is accepted is systematic racism - the systematic incentives of implementing facial recognition leads to discrimination.
- hntrader 6y agoDo you know what the classification error is for different ethnicities? Or are you just basing this on a small handful of misclassifications that you've seen in the news?
- sudosysgen 6y agoWe're talking specifically about passive vision based facial recognition, right? I've personally seen such systems that simply do not have the dynamic range to be able to, in the same exposure, extract a sufficient amount of detail from black skinned faces and white skinned faces. I'm sure there are systems that can, at a much higher cost. But largely there are many that simply fail.
