SAN FRANCISCO €” Google has apologized after its new Photos application
identified black people as "gorillas."

On Sunday Brooklyn programmer Jacky Alciné tweeted a screenshot of
photos he had uploaded in which the app had labeled Alcine and a friend,
both African American, "gorillas."

Image recognition software is still a nascent technology but its use is
spreading quickly. Google launched its Photos app at Google I/O in May,
touting its machine-learning smarts to recognize people, places and
events on its own.

Yontan Zunger, an engineer and the company's chief architect of Google+,
responded swiftly to Alciné on Twitter: "This is 100% Not OK." And he
promised that Google's Photos team was working on a fix.

Why is the "Photos" team working on a fix? They got it right.

That may be true of everyone since information is the greatest weapon of war. Hey, forget the banksters, it's Google running the world from behind the curtain. Black helicopters my butt, it's black network servers you must worry about. o_O

I pulled up some gorilla pics to refresh my memory. I don't see any
points of similarity.

Is it coincidence that the person who tweeted the photo of herself is a
programmer? Has she been monkeying with the software?

I was mistaken. Alciné is the guy in the background. His Google+ page
is public. He uses a comical, maybe photoshopped, pic of his face for
his avatar (if that's what it's called). He's witty and likes to poke
fun at systems, such as iOS.

Google's solution was to remove GORILLA from its tags. I think he fooled
the artificial intelligence by uploading other pics of the girl and
choosing the gorilla tag. Maybe he even told the app this pic should be
tagged as as a gorilla. Then he tweeted, "Google Photos, y’all f**ked
up. My friend’s not a gorilla."

I'll bet he did not foresee that the media would turn it into a story of
pervasive racism at Google.

Google was having problems with dogs, seals, and horses too so I don't
think so. (I'll ignore the pun) You have to remember it's a computer
algorithm. Pick up some biometrics and start looking for a best match.

The Trans-Intelligent Progressive Liberal Leftist Commiecrat Freaks infesting the mainstream press look for racism everywhere and in everything. If they can't find it they'll fabricate it. It's like my Southern Baptist cousins searching for sin in all things and activities. They don't let the truth get in the way. ^_^
