We ask of AI more than we ask of humans because AI can have a much greater reach than one person at the same task.
If you're just one guy who's face blind, no one really cares and you can't cause that much damage unless you're a border agent or something. Even then, it's not like you're affecting every single person passing through your country's border, just the ones who happened to be in the right (wrong?) place at the right time.
But if you deploy a face-blind AI as a security system that discriminates against minorities in thousands of establishments, suddenly it's like having thousands of clones of the same face-blind human and it can affect millions of people. If we're effectively making that many clones of a human, it better be good at its job
