About This Documentary

Concrete, relatable failures in facial and voice recognition trigger strong responses and personal anecdotes. There are several cases that connect cause (narrow data) to effect (misrecognition) clearly. Ethical urgency and fairness themes resonate widely. Diversity in data acquisition, compilation and training must be a requirement. Why do some AIs see white faces better—or struggle with accents? Training sets missed diversity. When algorithms learn a narrow world, they misread the rest. Inclusion isn't a feature; it's a requirement.
