But critics, citing Microsoft39。s work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, quickly seized on how that improved technology might be used. The agency contracts with Microsoft for cloudputing tools that the tech giant says is largely limited to office work but can also include face recognition. Columbia University professor Alondra Nelson tweeted, We must stop confusing 39。inclusion39。 in more 39。diverse39。 surveillance (監(jiān)管)systems with justice and equality. Facialrecognition systems more often misidentify people of color because of a longrunning data problem: The massive sets of facial images they train on skew heavily toward white men. A Massachusetts Institute of Technology study this year of the facerecognition systems designed by Microsoft, IBM and the Chinabased Face++ found that facialrecognition systems consistently giving the wrong gender for famous women of color including Oprah Winfrey, Serena Williams, Michelle Obama and Shirley Chisholm, the first black female member of Congress. The panies have responded in recent months by pouring many more photos into the mix, hoping to train the systems to better tell the differences among more than just white faces. IBM said Wednesday it used 1 million facial images, taken from the photosharing site Flickr, to build the world39。s largest facial dataset which it will release publicly for other panies to use. IBM and Microsoft say that allowed its systems to recognize gender and skin tone with much more precision. Microsoft said its improved system reduced the error rates for darkerskinned men and women by up to 20 times, and reduced error rates for all women by nine times. Those improvements were heralded(宣布)by some for taking aim at the prejudices in a rapidly spreading technology, including potentially reducing the kinds of false positives that could lead police officers misidentify a criminal suspect. But others suggested that the technology39。s increasing accuracy could also make it more marketable. The system should be accurate, but that39。s just the beginning, not the end, of their ethical obligation, said David Robinson, managing director of the think tank Upturn. At the center of that debate is Microsoft, whose multimilliondollar contracts with ICE came under fire amid the agency39。s separation of migrant parents and children at the Mexican border. In an open letter to Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella urging the pany to cancel that contract, Microsoft workers pointed to a pany blog post in January that said Azure Government would help ICE accelerate recogni
