So, there was a bug with an image recognition AI. The bug slipped into a public application. The bug was noticed and reported. The bug is being fixed. That makes the software racist, because of an unintentional error by something that isn't even human? I've seen plenty of people that look like gorillas and most of them are white. For instance... Ron Perlman. It's unfortunate that a computer mistook black people for gorillas when Ron Perlman is clearly the gorilla it was looking for. Not racist, just unfortunate.

I do think it'd be great if more black people went into technical fields and engineering, learn all the required skills. Probably help with the poverty demographic and subsequently push back against the unequal "law" enforcement efforts focused in black communities that dare to be poor.
