Researcher joy Buolamwini provided it assembled a data set of 1.3 thousand people, including politicians, that the expert selected based on the ranking of their state and gender conformity.

The conclusion of the experts – it is necessary to improve the system scan individuals thus to apply technology more diverse data set. This should involve different people in order to create algorithms with high accuracy which recognize faces regardless of sex or race.
