Google has introduced a very different scale of skin tones to improve its artificial intelligence systems. Dr. Monk, a Harvard University professor, is the inspiration for the new Monk Skin Tone Scale. Ellis Monk, has 10 skin. Google says it will replace old-fashioned skin tone scales that are biased on light skin. The technology company says it will be used to develop products such as search and photography. What is the skin scale? This skin tone scale seems to represent the Fitzpatrick scale of six different tones Machine learning, a type of AI, uses many technologies that include face cameras to turn on the phone or when your photos are automatically separated. But to get to this point researchers have to train these technologies to be able to detect large numbers of people. They do this by using a device known as a skin scale. One of the most popular leather scales is the Fitzpatrick scale. The Fitzpatrick Scale was first compiled in 1975. Its original use was to differentiate the response of different skin types to ultraviolet light. The skin was divided into six tones. Technology companies are now using the Fitzpatrick scale to classify people into images and measure how well things like eye-tracking systems or smartwatch sensors of heart rate also apply to all skin tones. But many people say that the Fitzpatrick scale, which has four different 'white' skin types out of six, is not enough. "If you say so, I 've checked my model to make sure it works well on dark skin, but using a scale that is representative of most people with that skin, you never know how good it is. It really works," said Google AI expert Xango Eyeé. What is the purpose of the Monk Skin Tone Scale? Google also works in a standard way to label web content that will also help improve their search results. The Monk rate announced in early May has ten skin a company that claims to represent a large number of people. Already used for filtering results in Google search - for example a search of makeup images will show many different images. There are also 'real-tone' photo filters that Google says are designed to work best when used on dark skin photos. Google says eventually the new scale will be used in all of its products. Monk scale can be used elsewhere and if other developers choose to take it. Google has unveiled an open source source system for the Monk Skin Tone Scale - which some companies may use - in the hope that it may eventually replace the now widely used skin tone scale. Why does it matter? If technology is not developed using a variety of data, it will not work effectively for everyone, regardless of their skin tone. But it is not just technology that this is a problem. It has recently been noted that many products do not do a very good job of representing the various skin tones. In the past many companies had very limited or only one choice of skin color products, and this was usually designed for the brightness of white skin. Crayons, plasters, and tights are just some of the materials that have been used in recent years. Many people think it is disappointing that it has taken so long for these changes to happen.
