Image Recognition
JOY BUOLAMWINI has had an interesting experience in her research on artificial intelligence (AI) facial recognition technology. As AI technology becomes more prominent in use across the world, the growing incidents of anti-Blackness being manifested among various AI systems dissolves the idea that technology is inherently neutral. In the United States activists have raised concerns over wrongful arrests that have been attributed to faulty AI facial recognition. AI technology is becoming increasingly better at reasoning, learning, understanding language, recognising images and making independent decisions. Current AI systems are programmed by humans and often reflect the biases and prejudices of their creators.
