OAKLAND, Calif. : Alphabet Inc's Google on Wednesday unveiled a palette of 10 skin tones that it described as a step forward in making gadgets and apps that better serve people of color.
Tech researchers acknowledged that Fitzpatrick underrepresented people with darker skin. Reuters exclusively reported last year that Google was developing an alternative. Monk said Fitzpatrick is great for classifying differences among lighter skin. But most people are darker, so he wanted a scale that"does better job for the majority of world," he said.
Tulsee Doshi, head of product for Google's responsible AI team, called the Monk scale"a good balance between being representative and being tractable."
