"For example, the program defined one white woman as a “stunner, looker, mantrap,” and “dish,” describing her as “a very attractive or seductive looking woman.” Many people of color have noted an obvious racist bias to their results. Jamal Jordan, a journalist at the New York Times, explained on Twitter that each of his uploaded photographs returned tags like “Black, Black African, Negroid, or Negro."

They claim this is AI, but earlier in the article, it states that mechanical turk was used. Mechanical Turk is basically just people getting paid pennies or fractions of a penny to tag these photos.

Many people on Mechanical Turk are from countries where English is not their first language and they don't have the same idea of racism as we do here in the US, which would explain the racist tags mentioned in the article.

This doesn't really show us anything about AI and racial bias and more that other countries still aren't up to our levels of what we consider decent.
