At the time, in 2015, the technologies to scan a person's face and infer their ethnicity were still in their infancy. Today, Kairos is no longer a rarity: according to websites, business documents and interviews, more than a dozen of them offer ethnicity screening services. In recent years, companies have used these technologies to find out how their customers use their products, who sees their ads, or what people of different ethnic groups like. Others use it to find people who meet certain physical criteria in photo libraries, often for advertisements. Or in security, to more easily find someone in a database. In China, where facial recognition abounds, surveillance cameras have been equipped with software to track the movements of ethnic minorities.
The field continues to evolve and it is difficult to know what companies, states and individuals will do. Because the use of this software is delicate: researchers and companies agree that it could promote discrimination, which runs the risk of complicating its development.
The Revlon spokeswoman said she couldn't comment because the analysis of the Instagram photos dates back several years. Kairos did not respond to multiple requests for comment. https://bit.ly/2Ykn819
