Twitter has said it is investigating why its picture-cropping algorithm sometimes prefers White faces to Black ones.
LONDON – Twitter says it's investigating why its picture-cropping algorithm sometimes prefers White faces to Black ones. Parag Agrawal, Twitter's chief technology officer, said Twitter analyzed the model when it shipped it, but said that it needs continuous improvement.The issue came to light after Colin Madland, a university manager in Vancouver, noticed that his Black colleague's head kept disappearing when using the video conferencing app Zoom. It appeared as though Zoom's software thought the Black man's head was part of the background and removed it as a result.
Another suggested that a stock photo of a White man in a suit was preferred to one in which the man was Black.
