From looking at articles that actually give hard numbers, misidentification for minorities is something like 5 to 10 times more common, with a 1 in 1000 error rate for black women for example: https://www.wired.com/story/best-algorithms-struggle-recognize-black-faces-equally/ https://www.wired.com/story/best-algorithms-struggle-recogni... Being able to identify 999 out of 1,000 black women accurately is highly successful. Just because it gets 9,999 out of 10,000 on white women doesn't make 999 out of 1,000 a failure. Mind you I'm opposed to the tech in general because it will inevitably be used to create dystopian hellholes. But not because I falsely correlate different error margins for different races with "structural racism."
