How to Vet Technology for Diversity

Angela wanted to use the new virtual try-on service to see what different lip shades look like on her skin. But when she opened it up, a message said: “no face detected.” Her friend, who’s white, could see the different products virtually applied to her skin. But Angela, a black woman, could not.

 

When facial recognition systems were being initially created, the grad students used pictures of classmates, predominantly white and Asian men. Unsurprisingly this technology works especially well for those groups. New technology tends to be tested by those who are most easily available to the creator, leaving room for potential shortcomings with other populations.
