#App#Software–Google Photos App Strikes Again, Tags Asian Man as “Horse” –Last week, we reported an awkward incident that had Google sitting at its center. The search giant’s new Photos App made a racist slip by tagging an Afro-American individual as“gorilla.”
Well, today we bring you news of a similar slip, although maybe not as racially offensive. Rocket News reports that a Japanese user took to Twitter to recount a similar story.
Apparently, his father had been mistakenly (obviously) tagged as a horse. Still, he doesn’t seem to be all that appalled by the incident.
He posted some evidence on the social media website, and you can see for yourself that the picture of an elderly man sitting behind a fence is clearly tagged “uma” or “horse” in Japanese.
Well, we sort of understand Google Photos’ confusion, what was he doing behind the fence on a grassy field anyway?
Going back to being serious, it’s more than evident that Google’s Photos app facial-recognition technology needs a lot of fine-tuning.
