@davidnjoku Not saying this isn’t a massive systemic issue, because it is, but in this particular case you’re being underexposed because you’re against a very white background. The auto-exposure is looking at the whole frame and trying to expose it all equally well, which is why the white is coming out blue/grey. If the background was closer to your skin tone it’d probably be absolutely fine. Try sitting in front of a wooden door or a dark curtain. (I spent a few years teaching photography and this is a common error!)

@pete @davidnjoku I mean… we’ve had center-weighted metering since the 70s and face detection algorithms have been embeddable for decades. I think we should feel comfortable to say a) there’s no excuse for this and b) this isn’t happening because of technological limitations.
