Reading a report from the ACLU about facial recognition error rates for women of color being up to 34% higher was a real gut punch.

I found that stat in a footnote on page 7 of their 2022 study on algorithmic bias, and it just made me think about how much we've blindly trusted these systems to be 'neutral' when they clearly aren't.

That stat is honestly terrifying. It shows these systems are built on flawed data that doesn't represent everyone. Makes you question where else this bias is hiding.

So where do we even start to fix something that broken?

Notice how even simple things like search results or movie suggestions feel off sometimes? Makes you wonder what else is quietly skewed without us knowing.
