If there is a human in the loop checking for false positives, then I don't see how it could get to this point. It surely wouldn't take hundreds of millions of false positives -- each with a non-trivial cost for manual review -- before pulling the plug.
- cortesoft 5y agoYes, humans could help correct false positives... however, that doesn't mean there are no consequences for the people wrongly matched. Investigators might have to look into the person, and question them. Not sure if you have ever had to talk to the police about anything, but the situation is stressful even if you are completely innocent. Also, having your life examined, having to answer questions about why you did things, etc, can be scary.
