Some of the technologies that power our lives each day can contain hidden biases that affect communities of color, a Consumer Reports investigation found.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dkzDqf dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-2 gLFytU itaLjB\">For decades, people of color were kept out of home ownership because of a practice called redlining. The practice is now illegal, but similar results can still be found in today\u2019s digital world.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dkzDqf dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-2 gLFytU itaLjB\">\u201cThe information used in redlining has largely been fed into new algorithms that are essentially doing the same kind of thing without the racist overtones,\u201d said Consumer Reports\u2019 Brian Vines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dkzDqf dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-2 gLFytU itaLjB\">A new Consumer Reports documentary series called \u201cBad Input\u201d sheds light on how technology is failing \u2014 in home lending, medicine, facial recognition and security.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dkzDqf dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-2 gLFytU itaLjB\">That raises the question: Can technology be racist?<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dkzDqf dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-2 gLFytU itaLjB\">\u201cThe answer is yes. Frankly, tech can be racist. If tech is fed bad information, it will continue to give us bad outputs,\u201d Vines said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dkzDqf dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-2 gLFytU itaLjB\">For example, during the pandemic, pulse oximeters helped save lives. But a study by the University of Michigan experts showed that the technology was not as accurate for Black patients versus white patients.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dkzDqf dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-2 gLFytU itaLjB\">\u201cPeople of color were presenting and getting wrong readings. It delayed the care that they were able to receive and could really have some dire consequences if you\u2019re showing up and your blood oxygen level is incorrect,\u201d Vines said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dkzDqf dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-2 gLFytU itaLjB\">You may not notice it, but facial recognition technology can be found so many places \u2014 from your phone to the self-checkout at a store to the line at an event where security is scanning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dkzDqf dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-2 gLFytU itaLjB\">\u201cWe\u2019ve seen cases across the country of people being misidentified and facing criminal charges,\u201d Vines said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-dkzDqf dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-2 gLFytU itaLjB\">To learn more about discriminatory technology and to watch CR\u2019s three-part documentary series, \u201cBad Input,\u201d visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumerreports.org\/badinput\/\">https:\/\/www.consumerreports.org\/badinput\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"sc-dkzDqf dist__BaseDivider-sc-1fnzlkn-7 kjXHyJ\"\/>\n<p class=\"sc-dkzDqf dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-2 gLFytU itaLjB\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ksat.com\/topic\/Consumer_Reports\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><b>Find more Consumer Reports content on KSAT.com here<\/b><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 by KSAT\/Consumer Reports &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8162386273903324\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7859258044\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ksat.com\/news\/local\/2023\/05\/02\/is-new-technology-infiltrated-by-old-biases\/\">READ SOURCE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technology is meant to improve our lives, but what if it discriminates?
