>Description: Through a crowdsourcing social media campaign in 2016, several journalists and researchers demonstrated that augmented reality locations in the popular smartphone game Pokemon Go were more likely to be in white neighborhoods.
>Alleged: Niantic Labs developed and deployed an AI system, which harmed non-white neighborhoods and communities of color.
Crowd-sourcing is not "AI". And the linked articles are things like Nintendo redesigning the pokemon Jynx to not look so much like a racial charicature.
It's hard to see the value of this sort of database if the indexed items are so unreliable. How can I trust any conclusions I might draw unless I go through item-by-item to verify them?
