I’m not implying that the door opener felt racist, I’m just saying it’s actions were racist in their external effect, making life systematically more unpleasant and difficult for people of color. It’s a problem with facial recognition tech, or at least it was. My ai NVR is that way too, if I tell it a melatonin gifted person is persona non grata and it should notify me if they are seen, it tends to alarm on a lot of darker people, but with lighter skin people it is very accurate and reliable. My experience with facial recognition tech is that it’s fundamentally prone to false positives in darker faces,but pretty good with white people. Contrast? Training data? Idk.
