> They then flagged their AI to look for him, not comparing it to pictures/video of the actual perpetrator, and called the police when he came in. Nope, that's not what happened. The article is poorly written, but read it and it might make sense. " However, since the ID didn't have a photo, the lawsuit states Apple programmed its stores' face recognition system to associate the real thief's face with Bah's details" In other words, the only thing Apple used facial ID for was to link the thief's face to thefts where the thief didn't show ID. That allowed them to report the wrong person for multiple thefts (presumably instead of just one). (Yes it's terribly unclear from the article.) But it's fairly clear the wrongly accused was not arrested at the store, because the face recognition was primed for the real perp's face.
