While I have no doubt of the potential for facial recongition systems to have NUMEROUS inbuilt biases, including even IF every actor involved in their creation

While I have no doubt of the potential for facial recongition systems to have NUMEROUS inbuilt biases, including even IF every actor involved in their creation and deployment held no ill intent. There have only been six such cases apparently. It seems a bit premature for this kind of hedline.
That also being said, this kind of software is just bad in general, even outside of the biases thing.
One more thing. A quote from the article: "Detroit's police chief said their facial recognition technology, when used alone, fails 96% of the time, Insider previously reported." - What?? That's insane. Surely those numbers can't be right? the source on that he goes into more detail with similar specific numbers. I really hope it doesn't only exist to give more ammunition in court, and they don't care whether it works at all...
- whaleofatw2022 3y agoAI is the new Polygraph... Except now it can also be used by academia, employers, and more!
- dhbanes 3y agoAI is imperfect but it works a certain percentage of the time in a certain percentage of cases. Polygraphs are just complete pseudo-science bullshit.
- jahewson 3y agoIt is insane. Because it’s completely made-up: > "If we were just to use the technology by itself, to identify someone, I would say 96% of the time it would misidentify” He pulled this statistic out his ass.
- lucasjans 3y ago> "Detroit's police chief said their facial recognition technology, when used alone, fails 96% of the time, Insider previously reported." When it fails 96% of the time, are they given a hundred possible matches to scroll through? If so, that's concerning to the majority of people showing up without any affiliation to a crime.
