It’s still not racism. The article itself says there is a lack of diversity in the training data. Training data will consist of 100% “obvious” pictures of skin cancers which is most books and online images I’ve looked into seems to be majority fair skinned individuals.

“…such algorithms perform worse on black people, which is not due to technical problems, but to a lack of diversity in the training data…”

Calling out things as racist really works to mask what a useful tool this could be to help screen for skin cancers.
