My favorite example of this is the "racist" face tracking camera.

That's pretty funny, though it appears that the cause may not have been that, say, the engineers trained the face tracking software using mostly white people.

Amusing and perhaps inconvenient for a few users before it came to the attention on the manufacturer but I don't think that's really "serious damage".
