HP computers are racist

A short 2009 amateur video showing an HP MediaSmart webcam whose face tracking follows a white face but fails to track a black face. The uploader presents it as humorous.

HN cites it as the standard example of algorithmic bias in face detection and of how skewed training data produces biased tech.
