Bias in machine learning.

This error doesn& #39;t occur for white voices during this candidate forum.

At @Wikimedia we& #39;ve been studying bias in ML for some time. Some mitigations are well-known. @zoom needs to do better. https://wikimediafoundation.org/news/2019/07/18/designing-ethically-with-ai-how-wikimedia-can-harness-machine-learning-in-a-responsible-and-human-centered-way/">https://wikimediafoundation.org/news/2019...

It& #39;s shocking (if sadly unsurprising) for such errors to made, especially in forums educating voters. Folks should carefully review @zoom closed-captioning, especially when it& #39;s going to be part of the permanent record of an event.
