Detroit Police Chief: Facial Recognition Software Misidentifies 96% of the Time
- masonic 6y agoOf course the technology isn't going to solve most cases. But what this is saying is that they have a 5 % "hit rate" using the technology. That's way better than mugbooks and has little added personnel time for the search process. That 5% catch rate is "free" except for what they pay the contractor. So as long as it's properly seen as identifying candidate suspects rather than definitive suspects, it can be a big win. It's a tool. Any tool can be misused.
