PALO ALTO, CA—Responding to an outpouring of criticism across the tech industry, officials at software company Emergent AI confirmed Wednesday that they had fixed a bug causing their photo app to treat black users equally.

“Unfortunately, we didn’t catch the glitch before several hundred users of color received the same treatment as white users, and for that we’re deeply sorry,” said company spokesman Steven Grant, who pinned the mistake on machine-learning techniques that allowed Emergent’s algorithm to develop defective abilities such as broad-mindedness and empathy for minorities.
