World proportional is not good enough for this type of task. If we are to rely on AI for things like identifying people in pictures in a trial, we would need equal representation in the data set, so the AI doesn't have any kind of systematic bias. Otherwise, the AI's bias will compound errors in the real world. So you would need as many pictures of Australian aborigenees in the data set as Han Chinese people if you wanted to be sure there isn't a risk that a random person would be confused for someone of the over or under represented groups.
