The Coded Gaze: Unmasking Algorithmic Bias (face detection failing)

Brief description

Joy Buolamwini removes her white mask and the face detection is no longer able to detect her face, because it has been trained on images of faces that are unproportionally white. The machine fails to classify her face, hence discriminating persons of color. Buolamwini needs to trick the facial recognition application and the ML model it is using to be able to get a face detected.
