据一位名叫杰克·艾尔萨尼（Jacky Alcine）的程序员在Twitter上透露，Google
Photos将两位黑人标记成了“大猩猩”。
“Google Photos你完全搞错啦，我的朋友不是大猩猩”，他在Twitter上写道。
谷歌随后向艾尔萨尼表示了抱歉，并表示正调整算法以修复该漏洞。
“我们很震惊，对于此事我们表示由衷的道歉”，谷歌一位发言人表示。“很明显，对
于图片自动标记功能我们还有很多工作要做，未来我们会努力阻止此类事件再次发生。”
谷歌数周前刚刚推出Google Photos。当用户在该应用搜索图片时，谷歌会利用机器学

该类别将不会再出现。

Affrighted gathering of human kind!

Come, ye philosophers, who cry, "All’s well,"
And contemplate this ruin of a world.
Behold these shreds and cinders of your race,
This child and mother heaped in common wreck,

All right, I'll do as you say. But you do realize that this new you
without free will, will commit all sorts of horrible acts.
Mortal:
But they will not be sins since he will have no free will.
God:
Whether you call them sins or not, the fact remains that they will be
horrible acts in the sense that they will cause great pain to many sentient
beings.
谁给解释一下,为什么“this new you without free will, will commit all sorts
of horrible acts.” |
