Wow this is infuriating. There are so many people in this supply chain that I feel bear moral responsibility for this. From the engineers who have built the ML model for use in this way, to the engineers who designed and built the application to be used in this way, to the people who procured and implemented it, to the public servants who use it on a daily basis when it clearly makes atrocious, avoidable mistakes. To put a woman on bail from a machine learning algorithm output alone is frankly disgusting and reeks of laziness and a lack of care or concern from public servants. I am appalled.
- spicybright 3y agoImagine if software engineers became liable for these sorts of errors. Just like how professional engineers are when they put their stamp on a project.
- intelVISA 3y agoDon't see why not, something like that is the only way (imo) to slow this technological race to the bottom.
- an-allen 3y agoAs a software engineer, I think it has to be done. The heres my platform - I cant control who or how folks use it, and have no responsibility of that mentality creates harm… lots of it.
- rightbyte 3y agoThe user should have an engineer put a stamp on it if they need a scapegoat for their bad policies. Liability for devs will just entrench Oracle, IBM and whatever.
- TimTheTinker 3y agoI don't see any problem with the tool itself; the problem is that it's being used incorrectly and with false assumptions. A facial recognition match should just be the start of one possible line of inquiry, and nothing more. I think the real issue is that the US justice system rewards and penalizes based on the number of convictions achieved. Low = bad, high = good. But high convictions does not equate to promoting justice or domestic tranquility.
