Detalles de la TaxonomíaFull Description
In 2016, Beauty.AI, an artificial intelligence software designed by Youth Laboratories and supported by Microsoft, was used to judge the first international beauty coontest. Of the 600,000 contestants who submitted selfies to be judged by Beauty.AI, the artificial intelligence software choose 44 winners, of which a majority were white, a handful were Asian, and only one had dark skin. While a majority of contestants were white, approximately 40,000 submissions were from Indians and another 9,000 were from Africans. Controversy ensued that Beauty.AI is racially biased as it was not sufficiently trained with images of people of color in determining beauty.
