Ms Buolamwini and her colleague Timnit Gebru looked at three sex-recognition systems, those of IBM, Microsoft and Fa
28、cebook. They tested these on a set of 1,270 photographs of parliamentarians(国会议员) from around the world and found that all three classified lighter faces more _36_ than darker ones. All also classified males more accurately than females. IBMs algorithm, for example, got light male faces wrong just 0
29、.3% of the time. That compared with 34.7% of the time for dark female faces. The other two systems had similar gulfs in their performances.

33、in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. The fact that people are no longer tied to specific places for functions such as studying or learning, says William Mitchell, a professor of architecture and computer science at MIT, means that there is a huge drop in demand for tradi
34、tional, private, enclosed spaces such as offices or classrooms, and simultaneously a huge rise in demand for semi-public spaces that can be informally appropriated to ad-hoc(革新的) work spaces. This shift, he thinks, amounts to the biggest change in _41_ in this century. In the 20th century architectu

This was necessary because workers needed to be near things such as landline phones, fax machines and filing cabinets. The new architecture, says Mr. Mitchell, will make spaces intentionally _43_ . Architects are t

This _46_ is what separates successful spaces and cities from unsuccessful ones, says Anthony Townsend, an urban planner at the Institute for the Future, a think-tank. Almost any public space can _47_ some of these features. For example, a not-for-
38、profit organization in New York has _48_ Bryant Park, a once- abandoned but charming garden in front of the citys public library, into a hybrid space popular with office workers. The parks managers noticed that a lot of visitors were using mobile phones and laptops in the park, so they installed Wi-
39、Fi and added some chairs with fold-able lecture desks. The idea was not to distract people from the flowers but to let them _49_ their little bit of the park. The academic name for such spaces is third places, a term originally coined by the sociologist Ray Oldenburg in his 1989 book, The Great, Goo
40、d Place. At the time, long before mobile technologies became widespread, Mr. Oldenburg wanted to _50_ between the sociological functions of peoples first places (their homes), their second places (offices) and the public spaces that _51_ safe, neutral and informal meeting points.

As more _63_ places pop up and spread, they also change entire cities. Just as buildings during the 2
42、0th century were specialized by _54_ , towns were as well, says Mr. Mitchell. Suburbs were for living, downtowns for _55_ and other areas for playing.
