User ID: 48254469 United States 07/01/2015 07:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Google apologizes for it's new photo app mis-tagging photos of African Americans as "gorillas" Google was quick to respond over the weekend to a user after he tweeted that the new Google Photos app had mis-categorized a photo of him and his friend in an unfortunate and offensive way. Jacky Alciné, a Brooklyn computer programmer of Haitian descent, tweeted a screenshot of Google's new Photos app showing that it had grouped pictures of him and a black female friend under the heading "Gorillas." "Google Photos, y'all fucked up. My friend's not a gorilla," Alciné wrote. About two hours later, Yonatan Zunger, whose title at Google is Chief Architect of Social, tweeted Alciné back, asking, "Can we have your permission to examine the data in your account in order to figure out how this happened?" A couple hours after that, Zunger followed up to say that a fix was in the works. @jackyalcine Thank you for telling us so quickly! Sheesh. High on my list of bugs you *never* want to see happen. ::shudder:: MORE....
