"The error was brought to its attention by a New York-based software developer who was one of the people pictured in the photos involved"

Maybe I'm missing something.
Are we accusing a machine of being a racist? Please tell me this is a joke? |

We ought to be happy that facial recognition is fallible for the better it is the worse.
Facial recognition is an extremely powerful and dangerous technology. All is number and the number we call our face can be read and we know how such has been used in the past: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOJwA6NGZTE

So, is it the computer AI that is racist, the programmer who wrote the AI that is racist, or the Google corp that published the software that is racist? I'm not sure.
