short by Ashley Paul / on Friday, 5 December, 2025
A US techie claimed in 2015 that Google Photos had tagged his Black friend's pictures as 'gorillas'. A social media user replied saying, "I'd say the program isn't racist so much as it's stupid." Google ex-executive Yonatan Zunger said he's "appalled" by the mistake and that it was "high on my list of bugs you 'never' want to see happen".
