There's some accountability in the human-based approach.
A person understands the context in which they are naming another person based on their face and can weigh internally whether they are sure enough to tell the police. The algorithm just spits out a confidence for the Police/DA to do whatever they want with.
A person can be cross-examined in court. Is that little old lady a blind racist who is accusing a person of color? Her credibility can be attacked in court. The algorithm was trained by racists? That's a LOT harder to attack.
I don't think the police should be barred from using the tech, but I certainly don't think it should be admissible in court.
