Who remembers the HP computer that was unable to identify black people? One of my favorite “oooph, that’s not a good look” tech fails of all time. At least the people in that video were having a good laugh about it.

More recently, there was also Google Photos mistaking a photo of a black couple as “gorillas”, back in 2015.

On a funnier note, there was also the AI tool turning a pixelated photo of Barack Obama into that of a white man.
