The team operates with a guiding objective: To keep improving technology so that it works well for more people. This scale was designed to be easy-to-use for development and evaluation of technology while representing a broader range of skin tones. Skin Type 2 light/fair complexion, burns quickly when exposed to sunlight and rarely tans. Although there are lots of ways this sort of bias is programmed into these systems, one common factor is the use of outdated skin tone scales when collecting training data. Downstream, these decisions can have the biggest impacts on people who are most vulnerable to unfair treatment, people with darker skin tones, Dr. Heldreth says. Add up your points to see where you fall on the Fitzpatrick scale. But why is the MST important, and who developed it? Reliability, measured with the Personal Separation Index (range, 0.88-0.95) and Cronbach (range, 0.93-0.98), was high. Skin color changes induced by various physico-chemical treatments were also quantitatively evaluated with the three instruments. In Smith, K. C. Today at I/O we released the Monk Skin Tone (MST) Scale in partnership with Harvard professor and sociologist Dr. Ellis Monk. 0000206470 00000 n

We take a human-centered approach to understanding how AI can influence and help people around the world, Dr. Heldreth says, focusing on improving inclusivity in AI, to ensure that technology reflects and empowers globally and culturally diverse communities, especially those who are historically marginalized and underserved.
