The first look a Twitter user gets at a tweet might be an unintentionally racially biased one. https://t.co/yHAamM2z8G

thanks to everyone who raised this. we tested for bias before shipping the model and didn't find evidence of racial or gender bias in our testing, but it’s clear that we’ve got more analysis to do. we'll open source our work so others can review and replicate. https://t.co/E6sZV3xboH

“When attaching photos of Barack Obama and Mitch McConnell to tweets, Twitter seemed to exclusively highlight McConnell’s face — Obama only popped up when Arcieri inverted the colors, making skin color a non-issue.”https://t.co/s9Mn71mDpC

This is a very important question. To address it, we did analysis on our model when we shipped it, but needs continuous improvement.

This looks really bad. It appears Twitter's photo preview algorithm focuses on the white man's face over the Black man's face despite their placement on the photos.
