Google has come under fire after their new photo app tagged a black couple as “gorillas.”
A black computer programmer from Brooklyn used Twitter to share a screenshot of the picture he had uploaded through Google Photo which generated the automated tag.
Google’s chief social architect took to Twitter to say “This is 100% not OK.” Google says it has decided not to give any photos a Gorilla tag until it has worked out a “better recognition of dark skinned faces.” h/t ktvu
In a statement, Google Spokeswoman Katie Watson said, “We’re appalled and genuinely sorry that this happened. We are taking immediate action to prevent this type of result from appearing.”
