On Feb 20, Business Insider reported that Google's Cloud Vision API service, an AI-powered tool that developers use to identify components in an image like faces, objects, or landmarks, will no longer attach gender-related labels to pictured people.

Last week, Google sent out an email to its Cloud Vision API customers that the tool – which can identify and tag various components in an image like brand logos, faces, and landmarks – will no longer attach gender labels like "man" or "woman" to people pictured in an image.
