My News & Views piece on computer vision data set fairness just hit @nature.com. Shortcomings have always been present in our data sets, with some recent work by Sony attempting to address them for model evaluation. We still have a ways to go though for training... www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Ethically sourced image data set encourages fairness in AI research
AI systems rely on data that often lack diversity, perpetuate biases and violate intellectual-property rights. An ethical human-image data set addresses these problems.

What’s really interesting about this is that it isn’t a new issue; detecting out-of-set or novel input has been an unsolved problem in ML for decades, and as far as I know there has been little progress solving it in the general case (see among others the recent paper from @wjscheirer.bsky.social)
