Sony AI built a 10,000-photo dataset to catch computer vision bias
Sony AI just published FHIBE in Nature, a benchmark dataset featuring 10,318 consent-based photos of 1,981 individuals across 81 countries. Unlike typical web-scraped sets, it includes self-reported demographics covering age, pronouns, ancestry, and skin tone. It aims to set a cleaner, more diverse standard to expose bias in facial recognition and autonomous driving systems.
