Image Recognition
According to new research, the pedestrian detection systems used in autonomous vehicle research have major age and race biases. The findings derive from a systematic review of eight popular pedestrian detection systems. These discrepancies stem from a common cause of AI biases: unrepresentative training data. “In this case, the open-source image galleries used to train these pedestrian detection systems are not representative of all pedestrians, and are skewed towards lighter-skinned adults. To reduce the risks, he wants more transparency and tighter regulations on pedestrian detection systems.
