We are living in strange times, where even computers and artificial intelligence can also receive the label racist. This is due to certain circumstances where individuals may act a certain way due to their socio economic status. Unfortunately, some minorities in America and Europe tend to not do as well as the majority.
According to the BBC in 2020, a claim done by a US university regarding the use of facial recognition to “predict criminality” is reigniting an ongoing discussion surrounding racial bias in technology. Researchers from Harrisburg University asserts that their software has the capability to determine if someone is a criminal solely based on a picture of their face.
This is with the intention of aiding law enforcement in crime prevention efforts. However, this claim has faced strong opposition. Furthermore, 1,700 academics have signed an open letter urging that the research not be published.

Others are stating that it could possibly be detecting high testosterone levels according to the face of an individual. However, another user responds with saying that having higher male hormones does not make someone a criminal.
