Flickr labeled photos with racist and offensive tags

Many tech companies have been working on automated image-recognition software to help people search and find photos more easily. But there are clearly still some kinks to be worked out.
When Flickr introduced a new auto-tagging feature this year, certain photos of people were labeled "ape" and "animal." Some pictures of concentration camps were identified as "sport" and jungle gym."
The photo hosting and sharing site is owned by Yahoo(YHOO) and has since fixed the issues.
