September 4, 2023

Artificial intelligence in self-driving cars has a problem with recognizing black people and children. This is due to the fact that the AI was trained on stock photos from the internet and assumes that pedestrians are white adult males. Experts have also discovered that the AI struggles to identify children on the road. The AI recognizes black people 7% worse and children 20% worse.
