I lived in china. Their facial recognition system is EVERYWHERE. I got stopped 7 times by the police because I had a face match, with a chinese person I'm not Chinese. There are definitely flaws in this system.
Peter Manuel huh? I live in china I’ve never been stopped?
Green Giant homie got a point one of my cousins looks Asian but we’re Mexican
@@da-mz4sl ye
Actually the Chinese one is far superior to the e
American ones
So your problem with it is that it is flawed, not that it shouldn't be done to begin with?
Highly dangerous and can be used to frame and deceive ppl.
Yeah imagine put face recognition on police body cameras as the lady was explaining
But he must be guilty, the police's machine said so!
@@jack-wl8uj a new excuse to blame their way out.
Absolutely true and scary
like when Ted Kennedy's name was added on a "no fly" list that delayed him from boarding flights. If Repubs were behind it, I'll bet that had a great laugh about that one... if true, a demonstration of their power, and the willingness to abuse.
Maybe police officers can network with those who enter names into the recognition database, and add somebody's profile to it AFTER an altercation takes place, so that the officer can claim they were scared for their lives and personal safety.
AOC asks the questions that politicians should have been asking for decades, but were too lazy, corrupted, or naive to ask.
they only ask the questions they get payed to ask.
Politicians can be many things but they aren’t' naive.
Corruption plain and simple. They dont want to upset donors. Sellouts.
2 bad she contradicts herself......
@@CREvoTheGreat Boo-Woo. Truth burns.
I don’t get how people don’t agree will her on her points. It’s obvious that conservatives are threatened by her because she knows how to ask the right questions at the right time
Her questions are not written by her...they are written for her.
David Markwald and how does that change anything? She still presented the points well backed by facts. I’m sure almost all congressmen have a research team behind them. What’s your point?

@@kirrithkovacs5097 So Apple using this information to have someone arrested multiple times, which was stated at the end of the video, is ok? And I took the premise to be the potential of law enforcement to use the technology's and increasing an existing problem (with their current flaws), also discussed at the end of the video.
@@davidmarkwald450 so if she doesnt know, she gets research done by others ... way better than not knowing and not wanting to know or research it at all. Coming from a Canadian but ya just thought

tj moneybags Thank you for looking past labels.
@@davidmadison9369 Thanks for saying hello. There are a lot of great people in this country who live under a lot of different labels that just need to talk. theres a lot less differences if we'd just be nice.
Fitting - Alexandria doesn't deal in labels either, that's what I've learned from her.
@@jazzx251 Yet almost everytime she talks about demographics she talks about how white men causes many issues...
@@advancedbretty4978
I'm a white man - in no way do I feel threatened by her.
When I see her talk, race is completely irrelevant.
But this particular subject - about white programmers inventing facial recognition software - is something that needs addressed ... and I wouldn't have known about this issue if it wasn't for Alexandria.
finally she mentioned something very true and that's happening.
and yes we all have the right to privacy. ALL humans
chr1 finally? She took down pharmaceuticals like a month ago
hmmm google
We have a right to privacy in public! Um since when? Do you know what the definition of the word "Public" means? 😂😂😂😂😂
She's trying to get them to fix it to include the other races. What part of that has you confused?
Finally?
When has she ever said something false that was consequential?

@@warren4740 bru...lol
I WAS SO PROUD TO HEAR HER SPEAK REFRESHING!!!
I know I love her too :) because her explaination is clear. If you are black or brown, you will basically label as a criminal without any proof or court or evidence.
White people would walk free even if they are criminals (Since this is white men built.) so you can imagine being white means "Innocent" by default.
@Needles Iblis so white people dont make crimes?
Dang she actually getting me interested in actually paying attention now 🤔
Programmer: "Where did you learn to be racist!?"
Machine: "I...I learned it from you!!"
A machine technically can't be racist. Machines obey orders. In the hands of a racist, machines are potentially dangerous.
😅😂😂
@@asperg8735 It was a joke. However, regarding your observation, it's the the software (instructions to the machine) that is biased towards only properly identifying white men and women. It wasn't intentionally made to be racially selective. White people have better contrast and therefore photograph details better.
AI is sneaky in that way, especially when used in criminal justice. A software called PredPol is programmed to be unbiased, but its conclusions on how to deal with current offenders are based on how people of similar backgrounds were dealt with in the past, in which minorities haven't always been treated fairly.
@Jon Eric As a programmer myself and as someone who has studied computer science and machine learning, machines cannot and will not become self aware or sentient. AI is nothing more than complex networks of logic and statistical analysis. AI can only "learn" with parameters it has been given. It could be argued that AI doesn't really "learn" anything in the true sense.
This type of tech can cause unjustitifed casualties. Fix it or lose it.
Yeah, because police likes to mindlessly shoot on sight, instead of not using violent methods, oh wait...
They can just lose it
Its crazy how people are really mad that equality is coming as if it affects them in any way..smh the hate is real. Demons are real!!
Facial recognition can have many upsides when people give consent. In my opinion the problem comes when data is sold.
Yeah, it's all what people's intentions are.

@@setter_soul_waifu0930 sadly it's just how it is
Hungry Rabbit - all you have to do is stop using social media
Yeah. And alot of other stuff too. THe CIa are terrorists but fails to mention it in public. CIA are responsible for most of the events including 911. That is why even though the USA invested so much money into defenses, and 911 still happen why? because they "ignored a threat" and thought it wasn't serious. When they are not suppose to take anything serious, even someone who tweet about assasinating the president jokes is not to be taken lightly and should always be serious because they dont know if the person is intentionally going to do it or not
2:53 - thought provoking explanation by Joy Buolamwini on how facial recognition leads to inequalities in the justice system
Indeed.
Very convincing
Devin A. Olivares-Reed I said the same thing ❤️
Wow!
Indeed! I wasn’t sure what was the culminating point of that conversation till she explained it!
Whoa this is very alarming! Thank God for these articulate young exemplary human beings! Thank you for your service.
So far out of control this should be stopped immediatly
Andre Cooper the algorithms and invasion of privacy and biometric abuse
So a system with proven errors is being suggested for integration in another system that requires a margin of error to be zero....this is going to go so well(the sarcasm)
Sorry but the system has a low error margin.
For white men.
As long as the error is in your favor, you learn not to really care.
So, we have an ineffective system that people want to use in a field that requires extreme accuracy. Isn't this great?
It is not accurate. That's the point. Another point is no regard for the 14 amendment. Section 1: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
@@Thistledove Dude... do yourself a favor & _Google_ the word *sarcasm.*
@Derek Spencer machines dont always do stuff better. There are complexities in facial features that our brains can decipher instantly where as. a computer must be programed for every possible motion of every muscle in the face that currently is not effective much of the time even for white males which it was designed initially to recognize and laughable in its recognition of minorities
@Derek Spencer Whether technology will help accomplish this (at some point) or not, my point is that as it is _right now_ this technology is way too flawed to be used, ESPECIALLY in the hands of racist people.
I like the idea of facial recognition but, yeah, it definitely shouldn't be used in that particular field until it is *actually* accurate. 🤷🏻♀️
Also, using it to spy on people without their consent should be illegal.
That last part gave me anxiety

shethewriter the way this is setup is disgusting. When you download an app and allow them to access your camera and accept their terms of service you are susseptable to it and you accepted to their terms. Don’t download any apps if you don’t want to be “spyed” on
Kazee Kryptek problem is people do not read the T&C before agreeing to these apps and then get mad on companies later. It’s always better to educate yourself first and point fingers later.
Amigo Mofos exactly.
@@stillsearching5816 I think most people know that companies use our data and can access our cameras and microphones. But we dont expect for our information to be used in a way that would impact our civil liberties. We're expect that there are laws to protect us from that and expect companies to do right by their customers. But regardless of what we expect vs. what actually happens, we have to accept the terms to use the tools. And these days, it seems like not using these tools is becoming less and less of a choice. Even our employers are using social media and apps to find applicants. Convenience helps us get more done. Times evolve with our tech and it's much more difficult for those who dont evolve with it I think. Companies should, can, and some do offer opt out options for any data collecting services. I remember turning the mic off on my Google maps app once, and my phone would buzz every 20 seconds or so while I was using the Google maps app sending me notifications that block my view and interrupting the directions. It was pretty ridiculous. Anyway, all of that to say the terms and conditions are bs and we should let it be known that we want change. ✊😊
Dear Fox News and other right wing propaganda outlets: please continue hating on AOC. Please keep calling her names, throwing shade, and showing her speeches.

Well, they were developed by white people, and to work on white people, so of course they'll misbehave.
Algorithms are mathematical formulas. Inaccuracies dont make them racist. It makes them incomplete and in need of additional information. This is where the use of AI will vastly improve its accuracy and completeness. I agree however, that she is correct that it violates my privacy.

I love alexandria work and the lady talking about false accusation and automatically lableing someone as a criminal based on facial recognition is messedup. I also predict that white men will automatically be considered "Innocent" when this kind of technology takes effect. I love Alexandria work and its amazing how much she can expose about our government.
Also if you look like one of the criminals (Since there are people who look similar to other people regardless of race. I seen people who look like Tom Cruise or Chris Rock and so on). You will be automatcally label a criminal if a cop pulls you over even though you didnt commit any crime and just happen to look like them.
Basically I can foresee that if you are white, you are automatically not guilty of any crime since this is built by white men and so it doesnt respresent the entire humanity. Discrimination at its best when it comes to this kind of stuff. Invasion right to privacy alone is already a crime and now the facial recognition used as a discrimination is really messed up.
The real American hero of this video was Joy Adowaa Buolamwini.
She was great.
Im not convinced. Everyone just jumps straight to race and gender. I could say that white men are being discriminated against because they are the ones being targeted by the technology, but thats just as presumptive as what im hearing.
mokiloke yeah I agree with you. They said that the technology works best with white men, and then just mentioned how that harms black men. My view is that I don’t want anybody’s info sold to the government, but that there is a negative to being mis-identified by this technology (ie, black men) and another negative to being correctly identified by this technology (ie, white men)
@@mokiloke Well, if you listened to the video more carefully, you'd realise they meant the accuracy of identification. Not that they are the disproportionate targets of the technology. And frankly, the potential for being misidentified (which she states is already happening) is a far more pressing concern. AOC touches on the issue of privacy universally earlier on.
@outherewildin' b THANK YOU! Someone who actually listened to what was said.
Now i know why i can unlock my brothers ipad. The technology isnt as efficient as advertised.

@@sabanthabb4870 thank you for your concise and undisputed correction.
Facial recognition tracks the edges of the lips, eye lashes, mouth corners, nose tip. Most of these features are more distinguishable on fair skin due to higher contrast. You don't need to make optics and algorithms racist to explain this. Just think before jumping to conclusions.
mokiloke and because it distinguishes fair skin more, you see how that disproportionately affects people of color? Which then keeps them continuously being targeted? Technology is not racist, correct. But using a flawed technological system that disproportionately affects people of color is racist.
@@brandonwilder3332 Agreed flawed technology that affects different people differently, but i think people come into the discussion with an assumption about it being more negative for dark skin. I personally would rather not be identifiable, I dont want amazon following me around. I dont want to be biometrically identified near a crime scene when im innocent. I guess im just saying theres a couple of anecdotes but there is no empirical study of net positive or negative effects. I wish it was banned for everyone its just more invasion of privacy

Rockin BoBokkin when you were pulled over, were you snatched out of your vehicle before proving your innocence? Was a gun pointed at your face before it was proven that you were violent? Were you accused of having a gun as you reached for your wallet?

Ok i will finally admit it AOC is a smart cookie.
Reading a script
Socialist and smart
Nah
She is so smart that if asked later what the 14th amendment is about, she will never answer. Not a bad script though.
@@dayanyankov1352 what does "if" mean? Am i supposed to assume something for you? I guess your to busy hating to describe what "if" means.
@@vicenteroj Well, no wonder why you support this absurdity since you can't even read. Watch extensively everything that AOC claims and then you may understand what I mean. On that note, I don't hate on her; I pity her supporters. Lastly, I agree that these gigantic online platforms are committing acts against the personal freedom, but I also wonder why nobody on the left talks a little bit about Facebook, Twitter, and so forth. Democrats or Republicans, everyone with a slight normal thinking must take a stand toward the total disregard of the Constitutional rights and freedoms granted to the common people.
AOC is more than amazing!
Very well put
2:54 what an explanation marathon! Flawless, clear, without hesitation.
When fb "tags" me, it is never correct. They always tag me as some other person. This technology clearly does not work at this time.
Everyone I know says that!
I am so proud Buolamwini is a Ghanaian!!!
Joseph Doe she’s sounds pretty american
@@jasonmason6910 I didn't mention anything about how she sounds. She is a Ghanaian.
Yeah she seems extremely intelligent , wow 😍
I thought she was nigerian
I like how effective her questions are!
Wow...just wow
The 2 second music loop in the background is really distracting...
The last sentence was really though provoking. Thanks for the great video and thank you AOC as always.
@me Me She is a politician, not a machine learning researcher or programmer. That is why she is seeking answers and opinions from the experts in the field, rather than coming to conclusions from delusions like we've seen with usual ones. She is special.
No words...
The implication that these algorithms were developped in a biased way intentionally is a huge stretch.
Whether or not the bias is intentional is a non-issue. The problem is that the bias, intentional or not, does exist.
@@wsk5nwytscnkfsu yeah the bias is there I'm not denying that, I am saying it is an unintended consequence of the data used to train the algorithm, which can be fixed by changing the data set to one that represents everyone better. The narrative that says it was developed by privileged people to protect personal interest is dangerous. The people developing these algorithms follow the best engineering and scientific practices. If some politicians exploit the vulnerabilities of these algorithms for their own interest, you can't blame it on either the algorithms (it is just maths) or the developers. Shifting the blame on the data scientist as this video heavily implies is misleading and suggests that there is some kind of conspiracy behind it. There isn't. So it is an issue that matters, at least to me who studies data science. On another note, I'm European and very much pro GDPR which says holding someone's personal information without their consent (I won't bore you with the exceptions) is illegal. Letting the government hold biometric information on their citizens is very dangerous and a terrible idea in general.
Jacques-A Portal Sure, it could be fixed with better data sets. But that’s also not the point. Setting aside the privacy and human rights problem of nonconsentual surveillance itself, the biggest problem is this: that it is still either currently being used or about to be used in its current faulty form.
@@wsk5nwytscnkfsu Yeah I agree with that. There should be much higher testing requirements before using any kind of technology for that kind of purpose. I wasn't countering the point made. My point is that some of the implications she makes are dangerous. They blame the technology and the people developing it more than its use.
Jacques-A Portal Yeah, that is a valid point. On a separate note, though, isn’t the fact that these technologies are developed based on a certain demographic and considered applicable to the whole population still problematic though? Regardless of the developers‘ intentions, it still is the case that they consider this technology based on (and effective on) a certain demographic to be “a good technology that needs slight improvement”. If the technology worked only on black people and it constantly misidentified white male subjects, they would deem this technology to be insufficient or even ineffective. I hope it makes sense.. It’s kind of like how medical drugs and even treatments are developed based on all-male subjects and still applied to all people, which often causes women and children who are mistreated or misdiagnosed. I am not saying that the developers have bad intentions, but somewhere in either their head or in the system or just society in general, there is a very deep innate bias that views a certain demographic as a default, and that creates a biased technology.
A lot of smart young women makes me hopeful for the future.
Is a shame she got elected instead...
@@An_Imperial_Guard. BWHAAAA
@@An_Imperial_Guard. I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. I'm assuming you are upset that AOC was elected. I disagree, but you have the right to your opinion. I don't live in NYC, so I'm not one of her constituents. I'm from CT, where are you from? I hope not Russia (joke)
Got nothing but respect for AOC she's a beast
Kev Flores A Crazy Socialist Whack Job, remember the new green deal??
@@robertholmes7912
The Green New Deal is a holistic vision which aims to save the environment, and make peoples' lives better during the transformation.
There is nothing "whack" about it ... many countries have already managed some of the key parts of the Green New Deal ... including the Chinese, who are leading the world on renewable techologies.
A great business opportunity missed by the USA.
So why don't you do us all (and the generations to come) a favour, and get into your gas-guzzling SUV and drive it over a cliff?
Mai Nem you can’t compare the success of one country and try to apply it to another and believe it will work the same
@@DavidVargas-iv4dr
Yes I can - learn from other countries, and become better.
I bet this didn’t make the news though .. makes me sick how these companies operate
What an eloquent response at the end
Sorry, because sometime my comments are kind of long but I close my Facebook account a year ago🤷♀️yeah beware did you close your FB, accounts?
Somebody is making millions out of my name in my data👹 yeah getting dangerous so this is how I protest I close my account! 🤷♀️🤝
I shut it off deleted the account and an admin changed my password re opened it and preserved the photos I had just deleted
They don't care
Maybe not millions...but something
And also you are not using Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Co. I suppose. Who confirmed to you that your deleted stuff is really deleted, Facebook?
You closed nothing - when you went on Facebook, you surrendered the rights to all of your personal information.
I think the EU - and its "right to be forgotten" rule might help, but only in the EU.
When you dance with the Devil, he will always have your number, unfortunately.
We need more politicians looking out for us. Thanks AOC!
your so bumb lol read all her videos
Thank you for being our voice
AOC is brilliant and smart
Thank you! AOC is spot on as usual.
shes a fake
Spot on stupid.
Jaywalk 2020 AOC is Anti American Leftist Socialist organization determined to destroy America, they are The Legion Of Doom.
Frightening we are losing democracy!
These names make me think I'm reading a Dr. Seuss book
Thanks, great video!
That’s why I’m pretty much off the grid. Lol
No but this is scary
if u carry a cell or own a car over 06 ur not off the grid
"I'm off the grid! Lol"
>she posts on the internet
@@shawarmaboy4844
come on ... she means that she's not on Facebook .. and hence completely anonymous. (aye ... christ aye)
But this raises a terrifying question.
Let's say you are black, and you walk into a shop, and your face is not recognised ...
Police HQ is automatically alerted - "we got a 'black ghost' at Starbucks ... GO! GO! GO!"
Before you know it, riot police have surrounded you, and you are led away in handcuffs.
@@jazzx251 Okay... that's not what off the grid means then. You can't just put your own meaning to something.
And anyway I dont know why you bothered to tag me also in your explanation like I disagree with you or something. I agree with AOC and what you say.
I LOVE LOVE ME SOME AOC!! 🤗🤗
She's a very good politician. Good job.
Wow!!! Just disgusting! Why aren’t media outlets speaking on this.
