Google's statement about the findings (posted at the bottom of the study's methodology page [1] on Github): "Ensuring that all people and communities are able to find helpful results in Google Images is something we care about deeply and we are committed to building inclusive experiences for everyone. Because our systems are organizing information from the open web, the ways in which images are labeled and the content available in any given country or language can affect what shows up in our results. This can lead to situations in which our results show explicit or troubling content that people may not have intended to search for, including results that reflect negative stereotypes and prejudices that exist on the web. We understand that this can be extremely upsetting and also disparately impacts women and women of color. We share the deep concern around this and are actively working towards scalable solutions for these types of issues. Over the years, we’ve made significant improvements in this area, but as the web is constantly changing, our improvements will not solve every possible query in every country or language. This is an ongoing challenge we’ll continue to work to overcome as part of our commitment to build helpful, inclusive products for all of our users around the world."
