The one-pager [1] ends with some points about auditing, but when I search for "audit" int the full-text [2], I'm wanting more details. It refers to GAO audits, and ensuring that arrest photographs are not stored, but I would think the purpose of auditing is a more general and quantitative assessment of whether the system is working as intended, such as:
- measurements of accuracy rates, using new photos of people known to be in database, and people known to not be in database, and measurements of how accuracy is related to race.
- records of who is accessing the database, in the context of which investigation. The one pager outlines things you can't do, but within whatever the allowed uses are, there may be fishy harvesting things going on, and how will you notice that?
- facial-recognition technology is only as good as its software interface, and how will the development and versioning of that software be audited? what will prohibit vendors from including secret APIs what law-enforcement can use in a way that side-steps auditing?
