HP’s Facial Tracking Software Doesn’t Recognize An African American
In this funny video Wanda (Caucasian) and Desi (African American) test out HP’s Facial Tracking Software.

It’s not much of an issue for HP. Both Desi and Wanda have a sense of humor about it. Although you would have thought they would have tested the software
HP is now aware of the glitch, Posted a public forum update saying that they’re investigating the matter.
