Google AI will no longer use gender labels like 'woman' or 'man' on images of people to avoid bias
A Google AI tool that can recognize objects in pictures will no longer attach gender labels like "woman" or "man" to images of people.
Google's Cloud Vision API is a service for developers that allows them to, among other things, attach labels to photos identifying the contents. Google said it had made the change because it was not possible to infer someone's gender solely from their appearance. It also cited its own ethical rules on AI, stating that gendering photos could exacerbate unfair bias.
"Classifying people as male or female assumes that gender is binary. Anyone who doesn't fit it will automatically be misclassified and misgendered. So this is about more than just bias — a person's gender cannot be inferred by appearance. Any AI system that tried to do that will inevitably misgender people."
