How is the Ai coming to this conclusion? Just curious.
When training for people, not enough training data of African-Americans.
no, this isn't coming from a lack of training data.
This is where I got my information:
Since algorithmic systems “learn” from the examples they’re fed, if they don’t get enough examples of, say, black women during the learning stage, they’ll have a harder time recognizing them when deployed.

Well, it's not technically wrong. Humans _are_ primates, after all. But since I doubt that the algorithm has problems deciding on a species for white male homo sapiens, I guess that there's quite a bit of work still to be done.
