how many ways must it be shown?
is there still any question that
the system is biased
(thread)
this hits close to home, as a black man serving in the software development field for 15+ years, and father of two boys
there is systemic bias in most existing (facial recognition) systems
these systems misidentify black people, at times with dire consequences,
and are far better at correctly identifying white people
because these systems were created by white people who were ignorant of or negligent towards
the presence and the full implications of their bias
it is clear and urgent
the implicit bias, what we've been talking about for decades
the thing that takes up cognitive time, space, and energy on top of our job function
the cognitive load our non-black coworkers can't relate to, much less acknowledge or even respect
we need to improve quality and safety for the end users and all stakeholders involved,
we need more consideration, representation, participation in the refactoring and or re-creation of these systems
the system literally cant see me
cheers to @jovialjoy one who has been on the front lines ✊🏾🙏🏾
