Completely not the focus of the article, and you've turned the result of an error rate of 0.8 percent for gender classification of light-skinned men and a 34.7 percent error rate for the same classifier on dark-skinned women - into some kind of google image search language game?

I can only quote Joy Buolamwini on this:

“To fail on one in three, in a commercial system, on something that’s been reduced to a binary classification task, you have to ask, would that have been permitted if those failure rates were in a different subgroup?”
