Are black folks using the iPhone X having more issues with the facial recognition unlocking their phones than folks of other races? I do so this as a potential downside of ML-driven applications: training and testing are critical and there's a science behind these endeavors. We should expect problems if we take the slipshod approach so often employed when testing software.

I don't know how I feel about this. You open to discuss it @miraj ?
