AI BIAS TESTS GLOSS OVER A CRUCIAL ASPECT OF SKIN COLOR

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

Sony's AI research suggests a more "multidimensional" approach to measuring skin color, emphasizing not just lightness/darkness but also red and yellow hues. Current scales might overlook biases against certain ethnic groups. Sony recommends the CIELAB color standard, even as others tout the simplicity of systems like the Monk Skin Tone Scale. Google and Amazon are reviewing Sony's findings.
