I was in a taxi the other day, an electric Toyota, and it was constantly bugging the driver with various “driver safety aids”, like literally a stream of bongs and chimes and sirens. And half of them were “driver inattention! Sit up and look forwards!” He was sitting up and looking forwards, but also he was black, so the car’s interior camera was not registering him properly. But hey, tech is neutral and AI doesn’t encode bias.

@NotTheLBCGuy This is massively problematic even ignoring the bestand racial bias of the system. Once you take that into won't these systems should be illegal in their current form.

Unfortunately, (white) bureaucrats have endorsed it instead.

@NotTheLBCGuy The earliest known documented example of algorithmic bias was the rules for how to get a correct exposure that Kodak included with cameras over 100 years ago.
Despite photography education including an explanation of the bias and how to avoid it for nearly as long, the problem still exists in the automatic exposure controls of most cameras.
