There is not a single statement in that article that is not some type of fear implied concept that fails under observation. The "FR is biased towards people of color" issue was publicized a few years ago, and the industry adjusted - most are no longer biased, and that bias was a mathematical color space issue and nothing racial. It's an empty article cut and pasting fear statements from popular media, and simply Kiaros getting their name in the news.

What is the difference? Bias towards a color? What are you saying?

The mathematical bias was the fact that dark skin has less illumination range, therefore less information to separate dark skinned faces. The bias was not such that a darker skinned person would be confused with a different toned person, it would have issues telling the difference between people with the same darker skin tone and similar facial shapes.

The bias will also have biased consequences, like for 1 dark skin criminal you search for you will find more suspects with a much higher probability or score then a light skin person, this would mean more arrests/interrogations.
I would also not blame the math but the implementation aka the coding/modeling of the problem.
